Let Saints on Earth in Concert Sing
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 175 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let saints below in concert sing
With those whose work is done;
For all the servants of our King
In heav'n and earth are one.
2 One family we dwell in him,
One Church, above, beneath,
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death.
3 One army of the living God,
To his command we bow;
Part of the host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.
4 E'en now by faith we join our hands
With those that went before,
And greet the everliving bands
On the eternal shore.
5 Jesus, be now our constant guide;
Then, when the word is given,
Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide,
And bring us safe to heaven. Topics: All Souls (November 2); Funeral; Communion of Saints; Death; Eternal Life; Heaven Scripture: Joshua 3:14-17 Used With Tune: DUNDEE

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Almord, 1810-1871 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 722 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest-home:
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, does provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest-home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto his praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown;
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Grant, O harvest Lord, that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take his harvest home;
From his field shall in that day
All offences purge away,
Give his angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In his garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To your final harvest home;
Gather all your people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, for ever purified,
In your presence to abide:
Come, with all thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest-home. Topics: Ordinary Time 16, Year A; Creation; Gathering; Harvest; Heaven; Judgment; Parables; Petition; Second Coming; Thanksgiving Scripture: Psalm 67:6-7 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 900 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There’s a kindness in God's justice
Which is more than liberty.
There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed;
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
2 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of our mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more simple,
We should take him at his word,
And our lives would be thanksgiving
For the goodness of the Lord.
3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter
Like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why will you wander
From a love so true and deep?
There is welcome for the sinner
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Savior,
There is healing in his blood.

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 234 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My shepherd will supply my need:
The God of love supreme;
In pastures green you make me feed,
Beside the living stream.
You bring my wand'ring spirit back
When I forsake your ways;
And lead me, for your mercy’s sake,
In paths of truth and grace.
2 When I walk through the shades of death,
Your presence is my stay;
One word of your supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.
Your hand, in sight of all my foes,
Does still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
Your oil anoints my head.
3 The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;
O may your house be my abode,
And all my work be praise!
There would I find a settled rest,
While others go and come.
No more a stranger, nor a guest;
But like a child at home.
