Come, ye thankful people, come

Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 730 hymnals Lyrics: 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. 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. 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. Even so, Lord, quickly come To thy final harvest-home; Gather thou thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin; There, for ever purified, In thy presence to abide: Come, with all thine angels, come, Raise the glorious harvest-home. Amen. Topics: Thanksgiving Day Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR

Songs of Thankfulness and Praise

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 127 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Songs of thankfulness and praise, Jesus, Lord, to Thee we raise, Manifested by the star To the sages from afar; Branch of royal David’s stem In Thy birth at Bethlehem; Anthems be to Thee addressed, God in man made manifest. 2. Manifest at Jordan’s stream, Prophet, Priest, and King supreme; And at Cana, wedding guest, In Thy Godhead manifest; Manifest in power divine, Changing water into wine; Anthems be to Thee addressed, God in man made manifest. 3. Manifest in making whole Palsied limbs and fainting soul; Manifest in valiant fight, Quelling all the devil’s might; Manifest in gracious will, Ever bringing good from ill; Anthems be to Thee addressed, God in man made manifest. 4. Sun and moon shall darkened be, Stars shall fall, the heavens shall flee, Christ will then like lightning shine, All will see His glorious sign: All will then the trumpet hear; All will see the Judge appear; Thou by all wilt be confessed, God in man made manifest. 5. Grant us grace to see Thee, Lord, Mirrored in Thy holy Word; May we imitate Thee now, And be pure, as pure art Thou; That we like to Thee may be At Thy great Epiphany; And may praise Thee, ever blest, God in man made manifest.

Trav'ler, yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman, tell us of the night; Higher yet that star ascends. Trav'ler, blessedness and light, Peace and truth, its course portends. Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Trav'ler, ages are its own; See, it bursts o’er all the earth. 3 Watchman, tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn. Trav'ler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, let thy wand'rings cease; Hie thee to thy quiet home. Trav'ler, lo! the Prince of Peace, Lo, the Son of God is come!

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 154 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who are these arrayed in white, Brighter than the noon-day sun? Foremost of the sons of light, Nearest the eternal throne? These are they that bore the cross, Nobly for their Master stood; Sufferers in His righteous cause, Followers of the Lamb of God. 2 Out of great distress they came, Washed their robes by faith below In the blood of yonder Lamb, Blood that washes white as snow; Therefore are they next the throne, Serve their Maker day and night; God resides among His own, God doth in His saints delight. 3 More than conquerors at last, Here they find their trials o'er; They have all their sufferings past, Hunger now and thirst no more; God shall all their sorrows chase, All their wants at once remove, Wipe the tears from every face, Fill up every soul with love.

Mingled with the eternal past, Its remembrance shall decay; Yet to be revived at last At the solemn judgment-day. 3 All our follies, Lord, forgive! Cleanse us from each guilty stain; Let thy grace within us live, That we spend not years in vain.

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: If the Lord our leader be Lyrics: 1 If the Lord our leader be, We may follow without fear; East or west, by land or sea, Home, with Him, is everywhere: When from Esau Jacob fled, Tho’ his pillow was a stone, And the ground his humble bed, Yet he was not left alone. 2 Kings are often waking kept, Racked with cares on beds of state; Never king like Jacob slept, For he lay at Heaven’s gate: Lo! he saw a ladder reared, Reaching to the heav’nly throne; At the top the Lord appeared, Spoke and claimed him for His own. 3 Fear not, Jacob, thou art Mine, And My presence with thee goes; On thy heart My love shall shine, And My arm subdue thy foes: From My promise comfort take, For My help in trouble call; Never will I thee forsake, ’Till I have accomplished all. 4 Well does Jacob’s ladder suit To the Gospel throne of grace; We are at the ladder’s foot, Every hour, in every place: By assuming flesh and blood, Jesus Heav’n and earth unites; We by faith ascend to God, God to dwell with us delights. 5 They who know the Savior’s name, Are for all events prepared; What can changes do to them, Who have such a guide and guard? Should they traverse earth around, To the ladder still they come; Every spot is holy ground, God is there—and He’s their home, Used With Tune: ST.
