Author: Henry Alfrod Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 743 hymnals Topics: Summer 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 blessings of the field, All the stores the gardens yield; All the fruits in full supply, Ripened 'neath the summer sky; All that spring with bounteous hand Scatters o'er the smiling land; All that liberal autumn pours From her rich o'erflowing stores. 3 These, to thee, our God, we owe, Source whence all our blessings flow; And for these our souls shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise. Come, then, thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest home; Come to God's own temple, come, Raise the song of harvest home. Used With Tune: ST.

Heap High the Farmer's Wintry Hoard

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Summer First Line: Heap high the farmer's wintry hoard! Lyrics: 1 Heap high the farmer's wintry hoard! Heap high the golden corn! No richer gift has autumn poured from out her lavish horn! Through vales of grass and meads of flowers our plows their furrows made, While on the hills the sun and showers of changeful April played. 2 We dropped the seed over hill and plain beneath the sun of May, And frightened from our sprouting grain the robber crows away. All through the long, bright days of June its leaves grew green and fair, And waved in hot midsummer's noon its soft and yellow hair. 3 And now with autumn's moonlit eyes, It's harvest-time has come, We pluck away the frosted leaves, and bear the treasure home. Oh let the good old crop adorn the hills our fathers (forbears) trod; Still let us, for his (this) golden corn, send up our thanks to God! Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

The spring, great God, at thy command

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Summer and Harvest Lyrics: 1 The spring, great God, at thy command, Leads forth the smiling year; Gay verdure, foliage, blooms and flowers To adorn her reign, appear. 2 But soon canst thou in righteous wrath Blast all the promis'd joy, And elements await thy nod To bless or to destroy. 3 The sun, thy minister of love, That from the naked ground Calls forth the hidden seeds to birth, And spreads their beauties round: 4 At the dread order of his God, Now darts destructive fires; Hills, plains, and vales, are parch'd with drought, And blooming life expires. 5 Like burnish'd brass, the heaven around In angry terror burns, While the earth lies a joyless waste, And into iron turns. 6 Pity us, Lord, in our distress, Nor with our land contend; Bid the avenging skies relent, And showers of mercy send!

Public Prayer and Praise

Appears in 80 hymnals Topics: Summer; Summer First Line: The praise of Sion waits for thee Lyrics: 1 The praise of Sion waits for thee, My God; and praise becomes thy house; There shall thy saints thy glory see And there perform their public vows. 2 O thou whose mercy bends the skies To save when humble sinners pray; All lands to thee shall lift their eyes, And every yielding heart obey. 3 Against my will my sins prevail, But grace shall purge away the stain: The blood of Christ will never fail To wash my garments white again. 4 Blest is the man whom thou shalt chuse, And give him kind access to thee; Give him a place within thy house, To taste thy love divinely free. Pause. 5 Let Babel fear when Sion prays, Babel, prepare for long distress, When Sion's God himself arrays In terror and in righteousness. 6 With dreadful glory Gdf fulfils What his afflicted saints request; And with Almighty wrath reveals His love to give his churches rest. 7 Then shall the flocking nations run To Sion's hill and own their Lord; The rising and the setting sun Shall see the Saviour's name ador'd. Scripture: Psalm 65:1-5

Thy morning light and ev'ning shade Successive comforts bring; Thy plenteous fruits make harvest glad, Thy flowers adorn the spring. Seasons and times, and moons and hours, Heav'n, earth, and air, are thine; When clouds distil in fruitful showers, The Author is divine. Those wand'ring cisterns in the sky, Borne by the winds around With wat'ry treasures well supply The furrows of the ground. The thirsty ridges drink their fill, And ranks of corn appear; Thy ways abound with blessings still, Thy goodness crowns the year. Scripture: Psalm 65
