| Text: | Harvest hymn |
| Tune: | HARVEST HYMN |
| Composer: | S. W. |
1 Awake, sweet gratitude, and sing;
Wake, harp and timbrel, lute and lyre;
Let the whole earth with praises ring,
And mercies gratitude inspire.
2 The harvest moon has fill'd her horn;
Loud sound the God of nature's praise:
From the first beams of rosy morn,
Until the sun's declining rays.
3 'Tis to his gracious care we owe,
The early and the latter rain;
At his command the sunbeams glow,
And load the earth with ripen'd grain.
4 'Tis he whose goodness has supplied
Abundant stores for time to come;
While on the gentle zephyrs ride
The joyful shouts of harvest home.
5 Thus, while the "God of nature" claims
Our fervent gratitude and praise;
May we adore his sweeter names,
And love and serve the God of grace.
