The Harvest Is Past
Author: William J. Henry Meter: 12.11.12.11.5.5.5.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 8:20 First Line: The harvest is past and the summer is ended Lyrics: 1 The harvest is past and the summer is ended,
Alas, precious soul, this may be thy sad cry:
“The Spirit is gone I’ve so often offended,
And now with the lost I must perish and die.”
Refrain:
The harvest is past,
And I am not saved;
How fearful the cost
For a soul to be lost!
2 The harvest is past and the summer is ended,
The last call of mercy forever is gone,
And down to the regions of darkness eternal,
In anguish I take my sad journey alone. [Refrain]
3 The harvest is past and the summer is ended,
Refusing entreaties still harder I’ve grown;
Salvation I’ve slighted, and now, unforgiven,
I reap for my soul of the seed I have sown. [Refrain]
4 The harvest is past and the summer is ended,
Awaken, dear soul, ere it be thy sad moan;
The Savior is willing and waiting to save you,
Oh, come, ere His Spirit forever has flown.

Balm in Gilead
Author: Clara M. Brooks Meter: 13.13.13.14.13.14.13.13 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 First Line: Is there no balm in Gilead, and no physician there Refrain First Line: Yes, there is balm in Gilead, a great physician there Lyrics: 1 Is there no balm in Gilead, and no physician there,
That people still should languish in sickness and despair?
Is there no one to free them, no power to release?
Yes, Jesus died to save from sin, from sickness and disease.
Refrain:
Yes, there is balm in Gilead, a great physician there,
For Jesus died on Calvary our sicknesses to bear;
Then ask in faith believing, His promises are true,
Doubt not, but come receiving, there’s healing now for you.
2 To Christ, the wondrous Healer, they came at set of sun,
With lame and halt and withered; He healed them, every one.
The leper proved His power—that met Him in the way;
He healed the deaf, the dumb, the blind; He’s just the same today. [Refrain]
3 The mighty name of Jesus has wondrous healing pow’r,
He’ll banish your diseases—be healed this very hour!
He suffered death to free us; our resurrected Lord
Will send the healing stream to you when you believe His word. [Refrain]
4 O come, receive your healing, it is the children’s bread,
The table stands before you, with Father’s bounty spread.
Not one shall be excluded; the promises are true;
You may be filled, O hungry one, the table’s spread for you.

God of Jeremiah, grieving with an aching heart
Author: Brian Arthur Wren, 1936- Meter: 13.13.7.7.13 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 Lyrics: 1 God of Jeremiah, grieving with an aching heart
for an empire, unbelieving as it falls apart,
when your thunder goes unheard, we will tend the prophet's word,
and in season, out of season, we will sing your song.
2 When our wound is left to fester, though the pain goes deep,
when we've sown a hundred whirlwinds, but have yet to reap,
when the platitudes of peace only make our fears increase,
with a poem and a story we will sing your song.
3 When the palace looks at poverty with scornful eyes,
when the scroll of truth is shredded by a leader's lies,
when the glory of the cross is a propaganda gloss,
in the square and in the senate we will sing your song.
4 We will break the jar of plenty by the gates of gold,
we will buy a field of promise when the farm is sold,
at the ending of the dream, in the death of self esteem,
at the bank and in the market we will sing your song.
5 We will praise the grainy granite of the Law's demands,
and the Life-creating, Lover-God with wounded hands;
we will spin your story-line to an empire in decline
and in exile or in honour we will sing your song. Topics: Law of God; Music; National Life; Proclamation: Witness; Social Justice; Suffering; Witness to Community Used With Tune: KELVIN GROVE

Jesu, Son of Mary
Author: E. S. Palmer, 1856-1931 Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 8:22 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Son of Mary,
fount of life alone,
here we hail thee present
on thine altar- throne:
humbly we adore thee,
Lord of endless might,
in the mystic symbols
veiled from earthly sight.
2 Think, O Lord, in mercy
on the souls of those
who, in faith gone from us,
now in death repose.
Here 'mid stress and conflict
toils can never cease;
there, the warfare ended,
bid them rest in peace.
3 Often were they wounded
in the deadly strife;
heal them, Good Physician,
with the balm of life.
Every taint of evil,
frailty and decay,
good and gracious Saviour,
cleanse and purge away.
4 Rest eternal grant them,
after weary fight;
shed on them the radiance
of thy heavenly light.
Lead them onward, upward,
to the holy place,
where thy saints made perfect
gaze upon thy face. Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls; Proper 26 Year C; Remembrance Sunday Used With Tune: EUDOXIA

Prayer, for the Jews
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 8:4 First Line: Messiah, full of grace Lyrics: 1 Messiah, full of grace,
Redeem'd by thee, we plead
The promise, made to Abrah'm's race,
To souls for ages dead.
2 Their bones, as quite dri'd up,
Throughout the vale appear;
Cut off and lost their last faint hope
To see thy kingdom here.
3 Open their graves, and bring
The outcasts forth, to own
Thou art their Lord, their God, and King,
Their true anointed one.
4 To save the race forlorn,
Thy glorious arm display:
And shew the world a nation born,
A nation in a day! Topics: Solemn Prayers, offered up for Jew, Gentile, and the Fulness of the Lost in Adam Text Sources: Winchester's Coll.

The awful Judge appear,
Prepar'd to scan with strict account,
My blessings wasted here.

Burn'd to the lowest hell--
And in that hopeless world of wo,
He bade my spirit dwell.
3 Ye sinners, fear the Lord,
While yet 'tis call'd today;
Soon will the awful voice of death
Command your souls away.
4 Soon will the harvest close--
The summer soon be o'er--
And soon, your injur'd, angry God
Will hear your prayers no more. Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment; The harvest is past

We Love to Sound Your Praises
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Jeremiah 8:18 First Line: We love to sound yoiur praises To lift our hands above Lyrics: We love to sound your praises, To lift our hands above,
To sing how grace amazes, To celebrate your love.
Yet, God, your world is grieving; Is your heart breaking, too?
May we cry out, believing Laments can honor you.
Like Jeremiah, crying For cities that were lost,
We see the children dying Who know war’s awful cost.
Each day repeats the story; Sin takes its toll again.
How can we sing your glory When our hearts break with them?
The scope of sin is broader Than what the late news tells;
Rejecting living water, We dig our broken wells.
In gods of our own making We look for joy each day;
O God, is your heart breaking When we all turn away?
O God, you came to save us In Christ, your suffering Son.
In his death you forgave us; In his life, joy is won!
And when this world is suffering, When songs of grief abound,
May we work for your kingdom, Till alleluias sound!
