Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 726 hymnals First Line: Come, ye thankful people come 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, does 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 God's 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:
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 God's garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To your 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: 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A; Creation; Eternal Life; Gathering; Harvest; Heaven; Judgment; Parables; Petition; Providence; Second Coming; Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:13-15 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Nor dies the strain of praise away.

Your friends beneath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Your wondrous doings heard on high.

Like earth’s proud empires, pass away:
Your kingdom stands, and grows for ever,
Till all your creatures own your sway. Topics: Confidence; Evening; Evening; Hope; Kingdom; Light; Praise; Providence; Rest; Thanksgiving; Trust Scripture: Psalm 113:1-6 Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT
