Praise God for the Harvest
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Church at Worship Special Days, Seasons, Occasions: Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving Day First Line: Praise God for the harvest of orchard and field Lyrics: 1 Praise God for the harvest of orchard and field,
praise God for the people who gather their yield,
the long hours of labour, the skills of a team,
the patience of science, the power of machine.
2 Praise God for the harvest that comes from afar,
from market and harbour, the sea and the shore:
foods packed and transported, and gathered and grown
by God-given neighbours, unseen and unknown.
3 Praise God for the harvest that's quarried and mined,
then sifted, and smelted, or shaped and refined:
for oil and for iron, for copper and coal,
praise God, who in love has provided them all.
4 Praise God for the harvest of science and skill,
the urge to discover, create, and fulfil:
for dreams and inventions that promise to gain
a future more hopeful, a world more humane.
5 Praise God for the harvest of mercy and love
from leaders and peoples who struggle and serve
for fairness and kindness, that all may be led
to freedom and safety, and all may be fed. Used With Tune: STOWEY

round thy throne of light,
angel-harps for ever ringing,
rest not day nor night;
thousands only live to bless thee,
and confess thee Lord of might.
2 Thou who art beyond the farthest
mortal eye can see,
can it be that thou regardest
our poor hymnody?
Yes, we know that thou art near us,
and wilt hear us constantly.
3 Yea, we know that thou rejoicest
o'er each work of thine;
thou didst ears and hands and voices
for thy praise design;
craftsman's art and music's measure
for thy pleasure all combine.
4 In thy house, great God, we offer
of thine own to thee;
and for thine acceptance proffer
all unworthily,
hearts and minds and hands and voices
in our choicest psalmody.
5 Honour, glory, might and merit
thine shall ever be,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
blessèd Trinity.
Of the best that thou hast given
earth and heaven render thee.

O Lord of heaven and earth and sea
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: Thanksgiving Day Lyrics:
Lord of heaven and earth and sea,
To thee all praise and glory be;
How shall we show our love to thee
Who givest all?
The golden sunshine, vernal air,
Sweet flowers and fruit, thy love declare;
Where harvests ripen, thou art there
Who givest all.
For peaceful homes and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe thee thankfulness and praise
Who givest all.
Thou didst not spare thine only Son,
But gav'st him for a world undone,
And freely with that Blessèd One
Thou givest all.
Thou giv'st the Holy Spirit's dower,
Spirit of life, and love and power,
And dost his sevenfold graces shower
Upon us all.
388
For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven,
For means of grace and hopes of heaven,
Father, what can to thee be given
Who givest all?
To thee, from whom we all derive
Our life, our gifts, our power to give;
O may we ever with thee live
Who givest all.
Amen.

Not Alone for Mighty Empire
Author: William Pierson Merrill Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: Civil Year Thanksgiving Day Lyrics: 1 Not alone for mighty empire
Stretching far beyond our view,
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to you.
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise you most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword,
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to you, O Lord;
For the priceless gift of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school,
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word,
For all heroes of the spirit,
Give we thanks to you, O Lord.
4 God of justice, save the people
From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction:
Make our nation free indeed.
Keep her faith in simple manhood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition
In the brotherhood of man.
Amen. Scripture: James 1:22-27 Used With Tune: GENEVA
