Know This, That Every Soul Is Free
Author: Anon. Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Special Topics First Line: Know this, that ev’ry soul is free Lyrics: 1. Know this, that ev’ry soul is free
To choose his life and what he’ll be;
For this eternal truth is giv’n:
That God will force no man to heav’n.

And bless with wisdom, love, and light,
In nameless ways be good and kind,
But never force the human mind.
3. Freedom and reason make us men;
Take these away, what are we then?
Mere animals, and just as well
The beasts may think of heav’n or hell.
4. May we no more our pow’rs abuse,
But ways of truth and goodness choose;
Our God is pleased when we improve
His grace and seek his perfect love. Used With Tune: BRAMWELL Text Sources: Boston

In earth’s harvest fields so wide

And knowing thou lovest me,
I’ll do thy will with a heart sincere:
I’ll be what you want me to be. [Chorus] Used With Tune: CONSECRATION

by him the birds are fed;
much more to us, his children,
he gives our daily bread. [Refrain]

for our wants to be supplied:

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.

as thus we lift our prayer;
correct us with your judgments, Lord,
then let your mercy spare.

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 121 hymnals Topics: Special Topics Harvest and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest,
sing songs of love and praise;
with joyful hearts and voices
your alleluias raise!

in fruitful order move;
sing to the Lord of harvest
a song of happy love.

the deserts bloom and spring;
the hills leap up in gladness,
the valleys laugh and sing.
He filleth with his fullness
all things with large increase;
he crowns the year with goodness,
with plenty, and with peace.
3 Heap on his sacred altar
the gifts his goodness gave,
the golden sheaves of harvest,
the souls Christ died to save.
Your hearts lay down before him
when at his feet you fall,
and with your lives adore him
who gave his life for all.
4 To God the gracious Father,
who made us "very good,"
to Christ, who, when we wandered,
restored us with his blood,
and to the Holy Spirit,
who doth upon us pour
his blessed dews and sunshine,
be praise forevermore.
