God's great harvest home draws near

Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Lyrics: 1 God's great harvest home draws near When his glory shall appear; Angels wait command to reap— First to gather out the wheat, Then the tares in bundles bind, Judge the deeds of all mankind, Saints, for that blest day prepare1 Watch in earnest faith and prayer! 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 offences 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; Bring thy final harvest home. Gather all thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin, There forever purified, In thy garner to abide; Come, with all thine angels, come! Raise the glorious harvest home! Amen. Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Repentance First Line: The Lamb is exalted repentance to give Lyrics: 1 The Lamb is exalted repentance to give, That sin may be hated, while sinners believe; Contrition is granted, and God justified, The sinner is humbled, and self is denied. 2 Repentance flows freely through Calvary’s blood, Produced by the Spirit and goodness of God. The living possess it, through faith, hope, and love, And own it a blessing sent down from above. 3 All born of the Spirit are brought to repent; Free grace can make adamant hearts to relent. Repentance is granted, God’s justice to prove; Remission is given, and both from his love. 4 The vilest of sinners forgiveness have found, For Jesus was humbled that grace might abound; Whoever repents of his sin against God, Shall surely be pardoned through Calvary’s blood.

Great Father of glory, how rich is thy grace!

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Hope Lyrics: 1 Great Father of glory, how rich is thy grace! What wonderful love is displayed in thy face! In Jesus thy image with brightness we view, And hope to be formed to that likeness anew. 2 By favour adopted, thy sons we appear, And led by thy Spirit, we boldly draw near; In Jesus belovèd, and washed in his blood, With hope we adore at the footstool of God. 3 The man who is blessèd with hope in the cross, Is freed from the bondage of guilt and the curse; The blood of his Surety by faith he reviews, While hope in that fountain his spirit renews. 4 The world knows us not; but in this we rejoice, To God we’re no strangers, but objects of choice. His love from eternity gave us a home, Where now we are hoping in safety to come. 5 Arrayed in obedience, all wrought by the Lamb, By Christ our Jehovah, the ancient I AM; With boldness we journey, while Christ leads us on, And hope soon in glory to praise the Three-One. Scripture: Psalm 71:14

Speaking the Truth in Love

Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Love First Line: Though justly of wrongs we complain Lyrics: 1 Though justly of wrongs we complain, Or faithfully sinners reprove, Yet still we do all things in vain, Unless we do all things in love. ’Tis love makes us humble and meek! The wounds of ill usage it cures, It pities the falls of the weak, The pride of the lofty endures. 2 Has God a command to fulfil, Which nature untoward would shun? Love brings to compliance the will, And causes the deed to be done. From Jesus the blessing must flow, To creatures beneath and above; May he his good Spirit bestow, And we shall do all things in love.

Repentance

Author: Fawcett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Repentance First Line: With melting heart, and weeping eyes Lyrics: 1 With melting heart and weeping eyes, My guilty soul for mercy cries; What shall I do, or whither flee, To escape the vengeance due to me? 2 Till late, I saw no danger nigh; I lived at ease, nor feared to die; Wrapped up in self-conceit and pride, “I shall have peace at last,” I cried. 3 But when, great God, thy light divine Had shone on this dark soul of mine, Then I beheld, with trembling awe, The terrors of thy holy law. 4 How dreadful now my guilt appears, In childhood, youth, and growing years; Before thy pure discerning eye, Lord, what a filthy wretch am I! 5 Should vengeance still my soul pursue, Death and destruction are my due; Yet mercy can my guilt forgive, And bid a dying sinner live. 6 Does not thy sacred word proclaim Salvation free in Jesus’ name? To him I look, and humbly cry, “O save a wretch condemned to die!”

When Jesus, with his mighty love

Author: Hart Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Fruits of the Spirit Love Lyrics: 1 When Jesus, with his mighty love, Visits my troubled breast, My doubts subside, my fears remove, And I’m completely blest; 2 [I love the Lord with mind and heart, His people and his ways; Envy, and pride, and lust depart, And all his works I praise;] 3 Nothing but Jesus I esteem; My soul is then sincere; And everything that’s dear to him, To me is also dear. 4 But ah! when these short visits end, Though not quite left alone, I miss the presence of my Friend, Like one whose comfort’s gone. 5 [I to my own sad place return, My wretched state to feel; I tire, and faint, and mope, and mourn, And am but barren still.] 6 More frequent let thy visits be, Or let them longer last; I can do nothing without thee; Make haste, O God, make haste. Scripture: Genesis 18:33
