Lord of the living harvest

Author: John S. B. Monsell, 1811 - 75 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #304 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest That whitens o'er the plain, Where angels soon shall gather Their sheaves of golden grain, Accept these hands to labor, These hearts to trust and love, And deign with them to hasten Thy kingdom from above. A-men. 2 As laborers in thy vineyard, Lord, send them out to be Content to bear the burden Of weary days for thee; To ask no other wages, When thou shalt call them home, But to have shared the travail Which makes thy kingdom come. 3 Be with them, God the Father; Be with them, God the Son; And God the Holy Spirit; Most blessèd Three in One! Make them a royal priesthood Thee rightly to adore, And fill them with thy fulness Both now and evermore. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY CHURCH

Through rugged toil and wearying fight; Thy conquering love shall be our sword, And faith in thee our truest might. 5 Send down thy constant aid, we pray; Be thy pure angels with us still; Thy truth, be that our firmest stay; Our only rest, to do thy will. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
