Lord of the harvest, hear

Fountain of good, to own Thy love

Osler Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fountain of good, to own Thy love Our thankful hearts incline; What can we render, Lord, to Thee, When all the worlds are Thine? 2 But Thou hast needy brethren here, Partakers of Thy grace, Whose names Thou wilt Thyself confess Before the Father's face. 3 In each sad accent of distress Thy pleading voice is heard; In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed And visited and cheered. 4 Help us then, Lord, Thy yoke to wear, And joy to do Thy will; Each other's burdens gladly bear, And love's sweet law fulfill. 5 Thy face with reverence and with love We in Thy poor would see; And while we minister to them, Would do it as to Thee. 6 Do Thou, O Lord, our alms accept, And with Thy blessing speed; Bless us in giving; greatly bless Our gifts to them that need. Amen. Topics: Almsgiving; Almsgiving and Charities; Love to Man; Sympathy Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN

From glory unto glory! Be this our joyous song

Author: F. R. Havergal Meter: 13.13.13.14 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From glory unto glory! Be this our joyous song; As on the King's own highway, We bravely march along. From glory unto glory! O word of stirring cheer, As dawns the solemn brightness of another glad New Year. 2 From glory unto glory! What great things He hath done, What wonders He hath shown us, what triumphs He hath won! From glory unto glory! What mighty blessings crown The lives for which our Lord laid His own so freely down! 3 The fullness of His blessing encompasseth our way; The fullness of His promises crowns every brightening day; The fullness of His glory is beaming from above, While more and more we learn to know the fullness of His love. 4 And closer yet and closer the golden bonds shall be, Uniting all who love our Lord in pure sincerity; And wider yet and wider shall the circling glory glow, As more and more are taught of God that mighty love to know. 5 Oh, let our adoration for all that He hath done, Peal out beyond the stars of God, while voice and life are one; And let our consecration be real, deep, and true: Oh, even now our hearts shall bow, and joyful vows renew. 6 Now onward, ever onward, from strength to strength we go, While grace for grace abundantly shall from His fullness flow, To glory's full fruition, from glory's foretaste here, Until His very presence crown our happiest New Year.

Whence come all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng: These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph by the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified: Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These like priests have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will; Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now in God's most holy place Blest they stand before His face.

Author: C. Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, His chariot, To His heav'nly palace gate! Hark! the choir of angel voices Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heavenly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory! He Who on the cross did suffer, He Who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has spoiled His foes. 3 While He raised His hands in blessing, He was parted from His friends; While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends; He Who walked with God and pleased Him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated, To His everlasting home. 4 Now our heavenly Aaron enters, With His blood, within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, And the kings before Him quail; Now He plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting-place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace. 5 Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heavenly places, There with Thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine Ascension, We by faith behold our own. Amen.

Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest; God shall be all, and in all ever blest. 2 What are the Monarch, His court, and His throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? Oh, that the blest ones, who in it have share, All that they feel could as fully declare! 3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, Vision of peace, that brings joy evermore; Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er, Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. 4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring, We the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing; While for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise Thy blessèd people eternally raise. 5 There dawns no Sabbath, no Sabbath is o'er, Those Sabbath-keepers have one evermore; One and unending is that triumph-song Which to the angels and us shall belong. 6 Now, in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high, We for that country must yearn and must sigh; Seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, Through our long exile on Babylon's strand. 7 Low before Him with our praises we fall, Of Whom, and in Whom, and through Whom are all; Of Whom, the Father; and in Whom, the Son; Through Whom, the Spirit, with Them ever One.

Author: J. Byrom Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake! salute the happy morn, Whereon the Saviour of mankind was born; Rise to adore the mystery of love Which hosts of angels chanted from above; With them the joyful tidings first begun Of God Incarnate and the Virgin's Son. 2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, Who heard the angelic herald's voice: "Behold, I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth To you and all the nations upon earth: This day hath God fulfilled His promised word, This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord." 3 He spake; and straightway the celestial choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire: The praises of redeeming love they sang, And heaven's whole arch with alleluias rang: God's highest glory was their anthem still, Peace upon earth, and unto men good-will. 4 To Bethlehem straight the happy shepherds ran, To see the wonder God had wrought for man; And found, with Joseph and the blessèd maid, Her Son, the Saviour, in a manger laid; Amazed the wondrous story they proclaim, The earliest heralds of the Saviour's name. 5 Let us, like these good shepherds, then employ Our grateful voices to proclaim the joy; Trace we the Babe, Who hath retrieved our loss, From His poor manger to His bitter cross; Treading His steps, assisted by His grace, Till man's first heavenly state again takes place. 6 Then may we hope, the angelic thrones among, To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song; He, that was born upon this joyful day, Around us all His glory shall display; Saved by His love, incessant we shall sing Of angels and of angel-men the King. Amen. Topics: Christmas Used With Tune: YORKSHIRE

Ye servants of the Lord

Author: P. Doddridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 455 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord, Each in your office wait, Observant of His heavenly word, And watchful at His gate. 2 Let all your lamps be bright, And trim the golden flame; Gird up your loins, as in His sight, For awful is His Name. 3 Watch!'tis your Lord's command, And while we speak, He's near; Mark the first signal of His hand, And ready all appear. 4 Oh, happy servant he In such a posture found! He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crowned. Amen. Topics: Ember Days; Advent; Ember Days; Ordinations; Watchfulness Used With Tune: OLMUTZ

Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face

Author: H. Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 316 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen; Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, And all my weariness upon Thee lean. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God; Here drink with Thee the royal wine of heaven; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 I have no help but Thine, nor do I need Another arm save Thine to lean upon; It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone. 5 Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness: Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing blood; Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace; Thy Blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord my God! Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Used With Tune: PENITENTIA
