Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #495 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Harvest and Thanksgiving; Processionals and Recessionals Harvest and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I sing with voice and heart,
Joy of my soul! to Thee;
To earth Thy knowledge I impart,
As it is known to me,
As it is known to me.
2 Thou art the Fount of grace, I know,
And Spring so full and free,
Whence saving health and goodness flow
Each day so bounteously,
Each day so bounteously.
3 Thou feedest us from year to year,
And constant dost abide;
When danger fills our hearts with fear,
With help art at our side,
With help art at our side.
4 With patience dost Thou e'er abide,
Nor long Thine anger keep,
But castest all our sins aside
Into the ocean's deep,
Into the ocean's deep.
5 Our deepest needs dost Thou supply,
Thy treasures last for aye;
Thou lead’st us to our home on high,
When hence we pass away.
6 Then up, my heart, rejoice and sing,
A cheerful trust maintain!
For God, the Source of everything,
Thy portion will remain.
