260. Lord of the Living Harvest

1 Lord of the living harvest
That whitens on the plain,
Where angels soon shall gather
Their sheaves of golden grain,
Accept these hands to labor,
These hearts to trust and love,
And with them ever hasten
Your kingdom from above.

2 As lab'rers in your vineyard,
Help them be ever true,
Content to bear the burden
Of weary days for you,
To ask no other wages
When you will call them home
Than to have shared the labor
That makes your kingdom come.

3 Be with them, God the Father,
Be with them, God the Son
And God the Holy Spirit,
Most blessed Three in One.
Teach them, as faithful servants
You rightly to adore,
And fill them with your fullness
Both now and evermore.
