Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, chanting bird and flowing fountain, call us to rejoice in thee. 3. Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest, wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our brother, all who live in love are thine; teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine. 4. Mortals, join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began; love divine is reigning o'er us, binding all within its span. Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife; joyful music leads us sunward, in the triumph song of life.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,011 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3. See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4. Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

Come, Ye Thankful People Come

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 as praise to God we yield; wheat and tares together sown are to 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 the harvest home; from the field shall in that day all offenses purge away, giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast; but the fruitful ears to store in the garner evermore. 4. Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring thy final harvest home; gather thou thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin, there, forever purified, in thy presence to abide; come, with all thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home.

Glory to God, and Praise and Love

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory to God, and praise and love be ever, ever given, by saints below and saints above, the church in earth and heaven. 2 On this glad day the glorious Sun of Righteousness arose; on my benighted soul he shone and filled it with repose. 3 Sudden expired the legal strife, 'twas then I ceased to grieve; my second, real, living life I then began to live. 4 Then with my heart I first believed, believed with faith divine, power with the Holy Ghost received to call the Savior mine. 5 I felt my Lord's atoning blood close to my soul applied; me, me he loved, the Son ofGod, for me, for me he died! 6 I found and owned his promise true, ascertained of my part, my pardon passed in heaven I knew when written on my heart. 7 O for a thousand tongues to sing my dear Redeemer's praise! The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace. 8 My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread through all the earth abroad the honors of thy name. 9 Jesus! the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease; 'tis music in the sinner's ears, 'tis life, and health, and peace! 10 He breaks the power of canceled sin, he sets the prisoner free; his blood can make the foulest clean; his blood availed for me. 11 He speaks, and listening to his voice new life the dead receive; the mournful, broken hearts rejoice, the humble poor believe. 12 Hear him, ye deaf, his praise, ye dumb, your loosened tongues employ; ye blind, behold your Savior come, and leap, ye lame, for joy. 13 Look unto him, ye nations, own your God, ye fallen race! Look, and be saved through faith alone, be justified by grace! 14 See all your sins on Jesus laid; the Lamb of God was slain, his soul was once an offering made for every soul of man. 15 Harlots and publicans and thieves, in holy triumph join! Saved is the sinner that believes from crimes as great as mine. 16 Murderers and all ye hellish crew, ye sons of lust and pride, believe the Savior died for you; for me the Savior died. 17 With me, your chief, you then shall know, shall feel your sins forgiven; anticipate your heaven below and own that love is heaven.

In the Bleak Midwinter

Author: Christina G. Rossetti Meter: Irregular Appears in 87 hymnals First Line: In the bleak midwinter, frosty winds made moan Lyrics: 1. In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak midwinter, long ago. 2. Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign. In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. 3. Angels and archangels may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim thronged the air; but his mother only, in her maiden bliss, worshiped the beloved with a kiss. 4. What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; if I were a Wise Man, I would do my part; yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
