162. Harvest Home

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.

Refrain:
Harvest Home! Harvest Home!
Raise the song of Harvest Home!
Harvest Home! Harvest Home!
Raise the song of Harvest Home!
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 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:
Come, O Harvest Lord, that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be. [Refrain]

3 Then thou 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 garner to abide;
Come, ten thousand angels, come,
Raise the glorious Harvest Home! [Refrain]
