For the Fruit of All Creation

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16 Lyrics: 1 For the fruit of all creation, thanks be to God. For his gifts to every nation, thanks be to God. For the plowing, sowing, reaping, silent growth while we are sleeping, future needs in earth's safekeeping, thanks be to God. 2 In the just reward of labor, God's will is done. In the help we give our neighbor, God's will is done. In our worldwide task of caring for the hungry and despairing, in the harvests we are sharing, God's will is done. 3 For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God. For the good we all inherit, thanks be to God. For the wonders that astound us, for the truths that still confound us, most of all, that love has found us, thanks be to God.

All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.

Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 20:16 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. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, and more graces for the good! There is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in his blood. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measure of our mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, we should rest upon God's word; and our lives would be illumined by the presence of our Lord.

Come, Labor On

Author: Jane L. Borthwick Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Appears in 71 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 20:6-7 Lyrics: 1 Come, labor on. Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain while all around us waves the golden grain? And to each servant does the Master say, "Go work today." 2 Come, labor on. The enemy is watching night and day, to sow the tares, to snatch the seed away; while we in sleep our duty have forgot, he slumbers not. 3 Come, labor on. Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear! No arm so weak but may do service here: by feeblest agents may our God fulfill his righteous will. 4 Come, labor on. Claim the high calling angels cannot share: to young and old the gospel gladness bear. Redeem the time its hours so swiftly fly the night draws nigh. 5 Come, labor on. No time for rest, till glows the western sky, till the long shadows o'er our pathway lie and a glad sound comes with the setting sun: "Servants, well done."
