Praise God for the harvest of farm and of field
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: CH4 #230 (2005) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Praise God for the harvest of orchard and field,
praise God for the people who gather their yield,
the long hours of labour, the skills of a team,
the patience of science, the power of machine.
2 Praise God for the harvest that comes from afar,
from market and harbour, the sea and the shore:
foods packed and transported, and gathered and grown
by God-given neighbours, unseen and unknown.
3 Praise God for the harvest that's quarried and mined,
then sifted, and smelted, or shaped and refined:
for oil and for iron, for copper and coal,
praise God, who in love has provided them all.
4 Praise God for the harvest of science and skill,
the urge to discover, create and fulfil:
for dreams and inventions that promise to gain
a future more hopeful, a world more humane.
5 Praise God for the harvest of mercy and love,
from leaders and peoples who struggle and serve
for patience and kindness, that all may be led
to freedom and justice, and all may be fed. Topics: Our Response to God in times and seasons; Church Universal; Harvest; Kindness; Science and Technology; Trade and Industry Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 Languages: English Tune Title: STOWEY

For the fruit of all creation
Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Hymnal: CH4 #231 (2005) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 For the fruits of all creation,
thanks be to God;
for these gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God;
for the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth's safe-keeping,
thanks be to God.
2 In the just reward of labour,
God's will is done;
in the help we give our neighbour,
God's will is done;
in our world-wide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing,
in the harvests we are sharing,
God's will is done.
3 For the harvests of the Spirit,
thanks be to God;
for the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God;
for the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all, that love has found us,
thanks be to God. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons; Our Response to God in times and seasons; Harvest; Holy Spirit gifts of; Love for others; Work and Leisure Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:12 Languages: English Tune Title: EAST ACKLAM

Come, ye thankful people come
Author: Henry Alford (1810-1871) Hymnal: CH4 #233 (2005) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Come, you thankful people, come,
raise the song of harvest home:
all is safely gathered in,
ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, will 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,
bearing fruit his praise to 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 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 storehouse evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come;
to thy final harvest home:
gather all your people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin;
there, for ever purified,
in your presence to abide:
come, with all your angels come,
raise the glorious harvest home! Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons; God in judgement and justice; Harvest; Heaven Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:9 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

'Tis winter now; the fallen snow
Author: Samuel Longfellow (1819-1892) Hymnal: CH4 #234 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 'Tis winter now; the fallen snow
has left the heavens all coldly clear;
through leafless boughs the sharp winds blow,
and all the earth lies dead and drear.
2 And yet God's love is not withdrawn;
his life within the keen air breathes;
his beauty paints the crimson dawn,
and clothes each branch with glittering wreaths.
3 And though abroad the sharp winds blow,
and skies are chill, and frosts are keen,
home closer draws her circle now,
and warmer glows her light within.
4 O God, you give the winter's cold,
as well as summer's joyous rays,
you warmly in your love enfold,
and keep us through life's wintry days. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons; Providence; Winter Scripture: Exodus 21:5 Languages: English Tune Title: O WALY WALY

God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year
Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger (1841-1919) Hymnal: CH4 #235 (2005) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year:
God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea.
2 From farthest east to farthest west, where human feet have trod,
by the voice of many messengers goes forth the voice of God:
'Give ear to me, you continents, you islands give ear to me,
that earth may be filled with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea.'
3 Let us go forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled,
that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world:
let us all fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free,
that earth may be filled with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea.
4 All that we do can have no worth, unless God bless the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvest-tide, till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God,
as the waters cover the sea. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons; Gospel Call; Kingdom of God; New Year; Visons and Dreams Scripture: 1 Peter 3:12 Languages: English Tune Title: BENSON

March on, my soul, with strength
Author: William Wright (1859-1924) Hymnal: CH4 #236 (2005) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 March on, my soul, with strength,
march forward, void of fear;
he who has led will lead,
through each succeeding year;
and as you journey on your way,
his hand shall hold you day by day.
2 March on, my soul, with strength,
in ease you dare not dwell;
your Master calls you forth;
then up, and serve him well!
Take up your cross, take up your sword,
and fight the battles of your Lord.
3 March on, my soul, with strength,
with strength, but not your own;
the conquest you shall gain,
through Christ your Lord alone;
his grace shall power your feeble arm,
his love preserve you safe from harm.
4 March on, my soul, with strength,
from strength to strength march on;
warfare shall end at length,
all foes be overthrown.
And then, my soul, if faithful now,
the crown of life awaits your brow.

Lord, bring the day to pass
Author: Ian Masson Fraser (b. 1917) Hymnal: CH4 #238 (2005) Meter: 6.6.12.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, bring the day to pass
when forest, rock, and hill,
the beasts, the birds, the grass,
will know your finished will:
when we attain our destiny
and nature lives in harmony.
2 Forgive our careless use
of water, ore, and soil --
the plenty we abuse
supplied by others' toil:
save us from making self our creed,
turn us towards each other's need.
3 Help us, when we release
creation's secret powers,
to harness them for peace,
our children's peace and ours:
teach us the art of mastering
in servant form, like Christ our King.
4 Creation groans, travails,
futile its present plight,
bound -- till the hour it hails
God's children born of light:
that we may gain our true estate,
come, Lord, new heavens and earth create. Topics: Our Response to God in the stewardship of the earth; Care of Creation; Children; Penitence; Science and Technology Scripture: 1 John 4:17 Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN
