The God of Harvest Praise
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 190 hymnals Topics: Thanksgiving (Harvest) Lyrics: 1 The God of harvest praise;
in loud thanksgivings raise
hand, heart, and voice;
the valleys laugh and sing,
forests and mountains ring,
the plains their tribute bring,
the streams rejoice.
2 O bless his holy name,
and joyful thanks proclaim
through all the earth;
be grateful and receive
God's blessing; and believe;
his love does not deceive.
Now share your mirth!
3 The God of harvest praise;
hands, hearts, and voices raise
with sweet accord;
from field to store the grain,
bearing your sheaves again,
and in your glad refrain
now bless the Lord.

The God of Harvest Praise
Come, ye thankful people, come
Author: Rev. Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 738 hymnals Topics: Special Seasons and Services Thanksgiving and Harvest; Harvest and Thanksgiving 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, doth 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;
Lord of harvest, grant 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 offenses 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 Thy final harvest home;
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, forever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR

For all things bright and good,

in you do we trust, nor find you to fail;
your mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
