Author: Rev. J. Keble Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #189b (1894) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, in Thy Name Thy servants plead,
And Thou hast sworn to hear;
Thine is the harvest, Thine the seed,
The fresh and fading year.
2 Our hope, when autumn winds blew wild,
We trusted, Lord, with Thee:
And now that spring has on us smiled,
We wait on Thy decree.
3 The former and the latter rain,
The summer sun and air,
The green ear, and the golden grain,
All Thine, are ours by prayer.
4 Thine too by right, and ours by grace,
The wondrous growth unseen,
The hopes that soothe, the fears that brace,
The love that shines serene.
5 So grant the precious things brought forth
By sun and moon below,
That Thee, in Thy new heavens and earth,
We never may forego.
Amen. Topics: Rogation Days; Providence Languages: English Tune Title: [Lord, in Thy name Thy servants plead]
