Joy to the World! the Lord is Come
Come, ye thankful people, come
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 722 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:12 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest-home:
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest-home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto his praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown:
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take his harvest home;
From his field shall in that day
All offences purge away;
Give his angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In his garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To thy final harvest-home;
Gather thou thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There for ever purified,
In thy presence to abide:
Come, with all thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest-home.
Amen. Topics: Funerals; Harvest and Thanksgiving; Harvest and Thanksgiving, Spirtual Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
Author: George Croly (1780-1860) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 340 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:6 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;
stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art,
and make me love thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet-ecstasies,
no sudden rending of the veil of clay,
no angel-visitant, no opening skies:
but take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast thou not bid me love thee, God and King --
all, all thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind?
I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling:
oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find!
4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh:
teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh:
teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love,
one holy passion filling all my frame --
the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
my heart an altar, and thy love the flame. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence; The Holy Spirit The Coming of the Spirit; Holy Spirit illunination of; Patience; Prayer Used With Tune: SONG 22
Spirit of God, descend upon my heart
O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High
Author: Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471); Benjamin Webb; J. M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:1 Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
how passing thought and fantasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake!
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptation sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us his daily works he wrought:
by words and signs and actions thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
4 For us to evil pow'r betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death,
for us gave up his dying breath.
5 For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to comfort, and to cheer.
6 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad --
the Trinity, whom we adore
forever and forevermore.
