Sing to the Lord of Harvest

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell Hymnal: Voices United #519 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Church at Worship Special Days, Seasons, Occasions: Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest, sing songs of love and praise, with joyful hearts and voices your hallelujahs raise; by whom the rolling seasons in fruitful order move; sing to the Lord of harvest a joyous song of love. 2 God makes the clouds drop fatness, the deserts bloom and spring, the hills leap up in gladness, the valleys laugh and sing. God fills them all with fullness, all things with large increase; and crowns the year with goodness, with plenty and with peace. 3 Bring to this sacred altar all things God's goodness gave, the golden sheaves of harvest, the souls Christ died to save: your hearts lay down before him when at his feet you fall, and with your lives adore him who gave his life for all.

Weep for the Dead

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #526 (1996) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Church at Worship Special Days, Seasons, Occasions: Remembrance First Line: Weep for the dead. Let tears and silence tell Lyrics: 1 Weep for the dead. Let tears and silence tell f blood and battle, horror and renown. The years diminish, but do not dispel the pain of lives destroyed, and life laid down. 2 Silent the dead. Remembering, we stand silent as they, for words cannot esteem causes of war, the love of native land, all that they were, and all they might have been. 3 Raising our flag, we stand with muffled drum, judged by the colours of God's love and loss, recalling, as we pray, "Your Kingdom come," a purple robe, and blood upon a cross. 4 Summoned by love that leaves no room for pride, we pray that every continent and isle, wounded by war, war's hate may lay aside, and find a way to heal and reconcile. 5 Weep for the dead, from all the ills of earth. Stand by the cross that bids all hatred cease. March to the drums of dignity and worth. Salute the King of Love, the Prince of Peace. Tune Title: HARRIS

As with silent hearts we bring to mind how hate and war diminish humankind, we pause, and seek in worship to increase our knowledge of the things that make for peace. 2 Hallow our will as humbly we recall the lives of those who gave and give their all. We thank you, Lord, for women, children, men who seek to serve in love, today as then. 3 Give us deep faith to comfort those who mourn, high hope to share with all the newly born, strong love in our pursuit of human worth: "lest we forget" the future of this earth. 4 So, Prince of Peace, disarm our trust in power, teach us to coax the plant of peace to flower. May we, impassioned by your living Word, remember forward to a world restored. Tune Title: ST AGNES (LANGRAN)
