Come, We That Love the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,789 hymnals Topics: Heaven Anticipated Lyrics: 1 Come, we that love the Lord,
and let our joys be known;
join in a song with sweet accord,
and thus surround the throne.
2 Let those refuse to sing
that never knew our God;
but children of the heav'nly King
may speak their joys abroad.
3 The men of grace have found
glory begun below;
celestial fruits on earthly ground
from faith and hope may grow.
4 The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets,
before we reach the heav'nly fields
or walk the golden streets.
5 Then let our songs abound,
and ev'ry tear be dry;
we're marching through Immanuel's ground
to fairer worlds on high.
Scripture: Psalm 149:2 Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford Appears in 727 hymnals Topics: Heaven 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:
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 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.

binding all the church in one;
holy Zion's help for ever,
and its confidence alone.

come, O Lord of Hosts, today;
with your faithful loving-kindness
hear your servants as they pray,
and your fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.

what they ask of you to gain;
what they gain from you for ever
with the blessèd to retain,
and hereafter in your glory
evermore with you to reign.

laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,

one in mighty, and one in glory,
while unending ages run. Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY Text Sources: Latin, 7th century

In His holy courts they flourish.
Like a father kind He spares them;
In His loving arms He bears them.

From the Lord His children sever,
For His love and deep compassion
Comfort them in tribulation.

Shows the Father's love so precious;
We may trust His purpose wholly—
'Tis His children's welfare solely. Used With Tune: TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA
