O Thou, to Whom in Ancient Time
Author: John Pierpont Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 123 hymnals Scripture: John 4:6 Lyrics: 1 O thou, to whom in ancient time
the lyre of Hebrew bards was strung,
whom kings adored in songs sublime,
and prophets praised with glowing tongue:
2 not now on Zion's hill alone
thy favored worshipers may dwell,
nor where at sultry nooon thy Son
sat weary by the patriarch's well.
3 For ev'ry place below the skies
the grateful song, the fervent prayer,
the incense of the heart may rise
to heav'n and find acceptance there.
4 To thee shall age with snowy hair,
and strength and beauty bow the knee,
and childhood lisp with rev'rent air
its praises and its prayers to thee.
5 O thou, to whom in ancient time
the lyre of prophet bards was strung,
to thee at last in ev'ry clime
shall temples rise and praise be sung. Topics: Prophets Used With Tune: REX GLORIOSE

Come, Labor On
Author: Jane L. Borthwick Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Appears in 71 hymnals Scripture: John 4:34-35 Lyrics: 1 Come, labor on.
Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain
while all around us waves the golden grain?
And to each servant does the Master say,
"Go work today."
2 Come, labor on.
The enemy is watching night and day,
to sow the tares, to snatch the seed away;
while we in sleep our duty have forgot,
he slumbers not.
3 Come, labor on.
Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here:
by feeblest agents may our God fulfill
his righteous will.
4 Come, labor on.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share:
to young and old the gospel gladness bear.
Redeem the time its hours so swiftly fly
the night draws nigh.
5 Come, labor on.
No time for rest, till glows the western sky,
till the long shadows o'er our pathway lie
and a glad sound comes with the setting sun:
"Servants, well done."

Come, You Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 727 hymnals Scripture: John 4:35-38 Lyrics: 1 Come, you thankful people, come,
raise the song of harvest-home;
all is safely gathered in,
ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, does provide
for our needs to be supplied;
come with all his people, come,
raise the song of harvest-home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
fruit unto his 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 his harvest-home;
he himself in that great day
all offense shall take away,
give his angels charge at last
in the fire the weeds to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in his storehouse evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come,
to your final harvest-home:
gather all your people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin,
there forever purified
in your presence to abide.
Come, with all your angels, come,
raise the glorious harvest-home! Topics: Special Occasions; God--Goodness of; Life to Come; Thankfulness; Thanksgiving (Harvest) Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR

Equip Thy church to spread the light.
