Come, Praise the Name of Jesus

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, praise the name of Jesus for all his gracious powers, our only God and Savior who makes his goodness ours; he calls us to his kingdom, the Lord of life and death, to see his face in glory and know him now by faith. 2 His virtue and his wisdom, endurance, self-control, his godliness and kindness, his love which crowns them all — this is his royal nature that we are called to share, his robe of perfect beauty that we are given to wear. 3 We see his shining splendor in every sunless place where Christ, the light of nations, appears in truth and grace. Transfigured by his likeness we make the vision known, reflecting in our faces the radiance of his own. 4 The king of grace inspires us to love him more and more, to grasp our hope more firmly and make our calling sure. Christ Jesus, Lord and Savior, to this dark world you came; and for the dawn of heaven, we praise your holy name.

Our country's voice is pleading

Author: Mrs. M. F. Anderson, 1819- Appears in 157 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our country's voice is pleading, Ye men of God, arise! His providence is leading, The land before you lies; Day-gleams are o'er it brightening, And promise clothes the soil; Wide fields, for harvest whitening, Invite the reaper's toil. 2 Go where the waves are breaking Along the ocean shore, Christ's precious gospel taking, More rich than golden ore; Go to the woodman's dwelling, Go to the prairie broad, The wondrous story telling, The mercy of our God. 3 The love of Christ unfolding, Speed on from east to west, Till all, His cross beholding, In Him are fully blest. Great Author of salvation, Haste, haste the glorious day, When we, a ransomed nation, Thy scepter shall obey!

Heap High the Farmer's Wintry Hoard

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Heap high the farmer's wintry hoard! Lyrics: 1 Heap high the farmer's wintry hoard! Heap high the golden corn! No richer gift has autumn poured from out her lavish horn! Through vales of grass and meads of flowers our plows their furrows made, While on the hills the sun and showers of changeful April played. 2 We dropped the seed over hill and plain beneath the sun of May, And frightened from our sprouting grain the robber crows away. All through the long, bright days of June its leaves grew green and fair, And waved in hot midsummer's noon its soft and yellow hair. 3 And now with autumn's moonlit eyes, It's harvest-time has come, We pluck away the frosted leaves, and bear the treasure home. Oh let the good old crop adorn the hills our fathers (forbears) trod; Still let us, for his (this) golden corn, send up our thanks to God!
