We Gather Together
Author: Theodore Baker, 1851-1934 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #517 (1957) Topics: Special Subjects and Occasions Thanksgiving First Line: We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing Lyrics: 1 We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing;
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.
2 Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side, all glory be Thine!
3 We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender wilt be;
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!
Amen.

At thy feet, our God and Father

At thy feet, our God and Father
Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #518 (1957) Topics: Special Subjects and Occasions Thanksgiving 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:
Grant, O harvest Lord, 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 offenses 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, forever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest-home.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #520 (1957) Topics: Special Subjects and Occasions Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Great God, we sing that mighty hand
By which supported still we stand;
The opening year Thy mercy shows;
That mercy crowns it till it close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still are we guarded by our God,
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before Thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed,
Thou art our joy, and Thou our rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored thro' all our changing days.
Amen.

O God, Beneath Thy Guiding Hand
Author: Leonard Bacon, 1802-1881 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #521 (1957) Topics: Special Subjects and Occasions Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 O God, beneath Thy guiding hand
Our exiled fathers crossed the sea;
And when they trod the wintry strand,
With prayer and psalm they worshiped Thee.
2 Thou heard'st, well pleased, the song, the prayer;
Thy blessing came; and still its pow'r
Shall onward thro' all ages bear
The memory of that holy hour.
3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves;
And where their pilgrim feet have trod,
The God they trusted guards their graves.
4 And here Thy Name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,
And spring adorns the earth no more.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET

Author: Frances R. Havergal, 1836-1879 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #522 (1957) Topics: Special Subjects and Occasions The New Year Refrain First Line: Onward the, and fear not Lyrics: 1 Standing at the portal
Of the opening year,
Words of comfort meet us,
Hushing every fear;
Spoken through the silence
By our Father's voice,
Tender, strong and faithful,
Making us rejoice.
Refrain:
Onward then, and fear not,
Children of the day;
For His Word shall never,
Never pass away.
2 For the year before us,
O what rich supplies!
For the poor and needy
Living streams shall rise;
For the sad and sinful
Shall His grace abound;
For the faint and feeble
Perfect strength be found. (Refrain)
3 He will never fail us,
He will not forsake;
His eternal cov'nant
He will never break.
Resting on His promise,
What have we to fear?
God is all-sufficient
For the coming year. (Refrain)
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALBAN
