We Plough the Fields
Author: Mathias Claudius; Jane Montgomery Campbell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 457 hymnals Topics: Proper 17 Year B First Line: We plough the field and scatter Lyrics: 1 We plough the fields and scatter
the good seed on the land,
but it is fed and watered
by your almighty hand;
you send the snow in winter,
the warmth to swell the grain,
the breezes and the sunshine,
and soft refreshing rain.
[Refrain:]
All good gifts around us
are sent from heaven above;
we thank you, God, O holy God,
for all your love.
2 You only are the maker
of all things near and far;
you paint the wayside flower,
you light the evening star;
the wind and waves obey you,
by you the birds are fed;
much more to us, your children,
you give us daily bread. [Refrain]
3 We thank you then, O Maker,
for all things bright and good,
the seed-time and the harvest,
our life, our health, our food;
accept the gifts we offer
for all your love imparts,
and, what from us you long for,
our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain] Used With Tune: WIR PFLÜGEN

We love the place, O God
Author: William Bullock, 1798-1874; Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Year A Proper 17 Lyrics: 1 We love the place, O God,
wherein thy honour dwells;
the joy of thine abode
all earthly joy excels.
2 It is the house of prayer,
wherein thy servants meet;
and thou, O Lord, art there
thy chosen flock to greet.
3 We love the sacred font;
for there the holy Dove
to pour is ever wont
his blessing from above.
4 We love thine altar, Lord;
O what on earth so dear?
for there, in faith adored,
we find thy presence near.
5 We love the word of life,
the word that tells of peace,
of comfort in the strife,
and joys that never cease.
6 We love to sing below
for mercies freely giv'n;
but O, we long to know
the triumph-song of heaven.
7 Lord Jesus, give us grace
on earth to love thee more,
in heav'n to see thy face,
and with thy saints adore. Scripture: 1 John 1:1 Used With Tune: QUAM DILECTA
We love the place, O God
Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 205 hymnals Topics: Proper 17 Year C Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,
taught by you, we covet most,
of your gifts at Pentecost,
holy, heavenly love.
2 Love is kind, and suffers long;
love is humble, thinks no wrong;
love than death itself more strong;
therefore give us love.
3 Prophecy will fade away,
melting in the light of day;
love will ever with us stay;
therefore give us love.
4 Faith will vanish into sight;
hope be emptied in delight;
love in heaven will shine more bright;
therefore give us love.
5 Faith and hope and love we see
joining hand in hand agree;
but the greatest of the three,
and the best is love. Used With Tune: CAPETOWN
Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost

O Christian, Love
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 149 hymnals Topics: Proper 17 Year B First Line: O Christian, love your sister and your brother! Lyrics: 1 O Christian, love your sister and your brother!
Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
to worship rightly is to love each other,
each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 Follow with reverent steps the great example:
Jesus whose holy work was doing good;
so shall the wide earth seem a hallowed temple,
each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangour
of wild war-music o'er the earth shall cease;
love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
and in its ashes plant the tree of peace. Used With Tune: WELWYN
O Christian, Love
O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,245 hymnals Topics: Proper 17 Year A Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:
2 under the shadow of thy throne
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages, in thy sight,
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time like an ever-rolling stream
soon bears us all away;
we fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guide while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

What Wondrous Love Is This
Author: Claude Rozier Meter: 12.9.12.9 Appears in 252 hymnals Topics: Proper 17 Year A First Line: What wondrous love is this, O my soul (Ô merveilleux amour pour ma vie) Lyrics: 1 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul,
what wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul.
2 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul,
what wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, that caused the Lord of life
to lay aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
to lay aside his crown for my soul.
3 To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing,
to God and to the Lamb, I will sing:
to God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM,
while millions join the theme I will sing, I will sing;
while millions join the theme I will sing.
4 And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on;
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And through eternity I’ll sing on. Used With Tune: WONDROUS LOVE Text Sources: American folk hymn, ca. 1811

O Worship the King
Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,148 hymnals Topics: Proper 17 Year A First Line: O worship the King, all glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all glorious above,
O gratefully sing God's power and God's love;
our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise.
2 O tell of God's might! O sing of God's grace,
whose robe is the light; whose canopy space;
whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and broad is God's path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, your power has founded of old;
has stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail;
your mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. Used With Tune: HANOVER

I Sing the Mighty Power of God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 472 hymnals Topics: Year B Proper 17 Lyrics: 1 I sing the mighty power of God
that made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad,
and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained
the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God's command,
and all the stars obey.
2 I sing the goodness of our God
that filled the earth with food;
God formed the creatures with a word,
and then pronounced them good.
Oh, how your wonders are displayed,
where'er I turn my eye:
If I survey the ground I tread,
or gaze upon the sky!
3 On earth there's not a plant or flower
but makes your glories known.
The clouds arise and spread their showers
by order from your throne.
All life is but a gift from you
and ever in your care;
Wherever people gather, you,
O God, are present there. Scripture: James 1:17 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Before Jehovah's aweful throne
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 968 hymnals Topics: Proper 17 Year B Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's aweful throne,
ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
know that the Lord is God alone:
he can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
made us of clay, and formed us then;
and, when like wandering sheep we strayed,
he brought us to his fold again.
3 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,
high as the heavens our voices raise;
and earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
4 Wide as the world is thy command,
vast as eternity thy love;
firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
when rolling years shall cease to move.
Scripture: 1 Peter 2:25 Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH
