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.

We ourselves are 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.

Then, thou Church triumphant, come,
Raise the song of harvest home:
All are safely gathered in,

Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There for ever purified,

In God's garner to abide :

Come, ten thousand angels, come;
Raise the glorious harvest home.

HENRY ALFOrd.

Fair waved the golden corn

In Canaan's pleasant land,

When full of joy, some shining morn,
Went forth the reaper band.

To God so good and great

Their cheerful thanks they pour;
Then carry to His temple gate

The choicest of their store.

Like Israel, Lord, we give

Our earliest fruits to Thee,

And pray that, long as we shall live,
We may Thy children be.

Thine is our youthful prime,
And life and all its powers;
Be with us in our morning time,
And bless our evening hours.

In wisdom let us grow,

As years and strength are given,
That we may serve Thy Church below,
And join Thy saints in heaven.

JOHN HAMPDEN GURNEY.

Holy Father, in Thy mercy
Hear our anxious prayer,

Keep our loved ones, now far distant,
'Neath Thy care.

Jesus, Saviour, let Thy presence
Be their light and guide,

Keep, O keep them, in their weakness,
At Thy side.

Holy Spirit, let Thy teaching

Sanctify their life;

Send Thy grace, that they may conquer
In the strife.

When in sorrow, when in danger,
When in loneliness,

In Thy love look down and comfort
Their distress.

May the joy of Thy salvation

Be their strength and stay;

May they love and may they praise Thee
Day by day.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

God the One in Three,

Bless them, guide them, save them, keep them

Near to Thee.
