As Saints of Old
Author: Frank von Christierson (1900-1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 First Line: As saints of old their first fruits broght Lyrics: 1 As saints of old their first fruits brought
of orchard, flock, and field
to God, the giver of all good,
the source of bounteous yield;
so we today first fruits would bring:
the wealth of this good land,
of farm and market, shop and home,
of mind, and heart, and hand.
2 A world in need now summons us
to labour, love, and give;
to make our life an offering
that others too may live.
The church of Christ is calling us
to make the dream come true:
a world redeemed, your kingdom come,
all life in Christ made new.
3 In gratitude and humble trust
we bring our best today,
to serve your cause and share your love
with all humanity.
O God, who gave yourself to us
in Jesus Christ your Son,
help us to give ourselves each day
until life's work is done. Topics: Discipleship; Justice; Harvest Thanksgiving Used With Tune: TYROL

All Attainments vain without Love
Author: S. Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:12 First Line: Should bounteous nature kindly pour Lyrics: 1 Should bounteous nature kindly pour
Her richest gifts on me,
Still, O my God, I should be poor,
If void of love to thee.
2 Not shining wit, nor manly sense,
could make me truly good:
Nor zeal itself could recompense
The want of love to God.
3 Did I possess the gift of tongues,
But were deni'd thy grace,
My loudest words, my loftiest songs,
Would be but sounding brass.
4 Tho' thou should'st give me heav'nly skill,
Each myst'ry to explain,
If I'd no heart to do thy will,
My knowledge would be vain.
5 Had I so strong a faith, my God,
As mountains to remove,
No faith could do me real good,
That did not work by love.
6 What tho', to gratify my pride,
And make my heav'n secure,
All my possessions I divide,
Among the hungry poor!
7 What tho' my body I consign,
To the devouring flame,
In hope the glorious deed will shine
In roils of endless fame!
8 These splendid acts of vanity,
Tho' all the world applaud,
If destitute of charity,
Can never please my God.
9 O grant me then this one request,
And I'll be satisfied,
That love divine may rule my breast,
And all my actions guide.

God of the Fertile Fields
Author: Georgia Harkness Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 Lyrics: 1 God of the fertile fields,
shaper of earth that yields
our daily bread:
forth from your bounteous hand
come gifts your love has planned,
that all in every land
be clothed and fed.
2 We would be stewards true,
holding in trust from you
all that you give;
help us in love to share,
teach us like you to care
for people everywhere,
that all may live.
3 As grows the hidden seed
to fruit that serves our need,
so your reign grows.
Let all our toil be used,
no gift of yours abused,
no humble task refused
your love bestows.
4 God of the countryside,
dear to the Christ who died
to make us one:
we pledge our lives anew
in faithful love to you.
Guide all we say and do.
Your will be done.
