Come, with all thine angels, come: raise the glorious harvest home. Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

A city stands on high; Christ's glory it displays, and there the nations "Holy" cry in joyful hymns of praise. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, the Source, the End of time, Creator of the rolling spheres in majesty sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail, for you have died for me; your praise shall never, never fail through all eternity! Scripture: Isaiah 53:4 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
