For the Fruit of His Creation

Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #611 (1993) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 For the fruit of his creation, Thanks be to God. For his gifts to ev'ry nation, Thanks be to God. For the plowing, sowing, reaping, Silent growth while we are sleeping, Future needs in earth's safe-keeping, Thanks be to God. 2 In the just reward of labor, God's will be done. In the help we give our neighbor, God's will be done. In our worldwide task of caring For the hungry and despairing, In the harvests we are sharing, God's will be 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.

Come, You Thankful People, Come

Author: Henry Alford, 1810-71 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #613 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Come, you thankful people, come; Raise the song of harvest-home. All be safely gathered in Ere the winter storms begin. God our maker shall 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 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, From his field shall in that day All offenses purge away, Give his angels charge at last In the fire the weeds to cast, But the fruitful ears to store In his garner 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 garner to abide. Come with all your angels, come; Raise the glorious harvest-home. Topics: Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE’S, WINDSOR

With joyful hearts and voices Your alleluias raise. By him the rolling seasons In fruitful order move; Sing to the Lord of harvest A joyous song of love. 2 God makes the clouds rain goodness; The deserts bloom and spring. The hills leap up in gladness; The valleys laugh and sing. God fills them with his fullness, All things with large increase; He crowns the year with blessing, With plenty and with peace. 3 Bring to this sacred altar The gifts his goodness gave, The golden sheaves of harvest, The souls Christ died to save. Your hearts lay down before him When at his feet you fall, And with your lives adore him Who gave his life for all.
