Amen. Tune Title: ST. LO

All is safely gathered in, safe before the storms begin; God, our maker, does provide for our needs 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, harvests for God's praise to yield; wheat and weeds together sown, here for joy or sorrow grown; first the blade, and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear: Harvest-giver, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For our God, one day, shall come, and shall take this harvest home, from the field shall in that day all offences purge away; giving angels charge at last in the fire the weeds to cast, but the fruitful ears to store in the garner evermore. 4 Even so, God, quickly come to your final harvest-home! Gather all your people in, free from sorrow, free from sin; there for ever purified, in your presence to abide: come, with all your angels, come, raise the glorious harvest-home.
