Come, Ye Thankful People
Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: Voices Together #123 (2020) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Rural Life; Rural Life First Line: Come, ye thankful people, come! Lyrics: 1 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 need to be supplied.
Come to God’s own temple come.
Raise the song of harvest home.
2 All the world is God’s own field,
fruit unto God’s 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.
God of harvest, grant that we
wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For our God again shall come,
and shall take the harvest home,
from the field shall in that day
all offenses cast away,
giving angels charge at last
in the fire the tares to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in God’s garner evermore.
4 Then, O church triumphant, come.
Raise the song of harvest home.
All are safely gathered in,
free from sorrow, free from sin;
there forever purified
in God’s presence to abide.
Come, ten thousand angels, come!
Raise the song of harvest home. Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30 Tune Title: ST GEORGE’S WINDSOR

thanks be to God;
for his gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God;
for the ploughing, sowing, reaping,
silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth’s safekeeping,
thanks be to God.
2 In the just reward of labour,
God’s will is done;
in the help we give our neighbour,
God’s will is done;
in our worldwide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing,
in the harvests we are sharing,
God’s will is done.
3 For the harvests of the Spirit,
thanks be to God;
for the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God;
for the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all, that love has found us,
thanks be to God. Scripture: Psalm 65:7-13 Languages: English Tune Title: AR HYD Y NOS

Come, ye thankful people, come
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #803 (1997) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Rural Life / Rogation Sunday Lyrics: 1 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.
2 All the world is God's own field,
fruit unto God's praise to yield;
wheat and weeds together sown,
unto joy or sorrow grown;
first the blade and then the ear,
then the full corn shall appear.
Lord of harvest, grant that we
wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come
and shall take the harvest home;
from the field shall in that day
all offences purge away,
give the angels charge at last
in the fire the tares to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in God's storehouse evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
to thy final harvest home:
gather thou thy people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin;
there, forever purified,
in thy presence to abide.
Come, with all thine angels, come:
raise the glorious harvest home. Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR
Come, ye thankful people, come

from heaven's abundant store
the waters of the springtime,
enriching it once more.

is sown o'er hill and plain,
and then come gentle showers
to bless the springing grain.
3 God crowns the year with goodness,
the earth God's mercy fills,
the wilderness is fruitful,
and joyful are the hills.

the flocks in pastures graze;
all nature joins in singing
a joyful song of praise. Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English Tune Title: CRISTUS, DER IST MEIN LEBEN
