God Is Working This Purpose Out

Ainger Lyrics: 1 God is working this purpose out, as year succeeds to year; God is working this purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be: when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, where human feet have trod, by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God: “Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.” 3 Let us go forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world. Let us all fight with sorrow and sin to set the captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed. Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed. Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

Raise the song of harvest home. 2 All the world is God’s own field, fruit unto God’s 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. God of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For our God again shall come, and shall take the harvest home, from the field shall in that day all offenses cast away, giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast, but the fruitful ears to store in God’s garner evermore. 4 Then, O 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 presence to abide. Come, ten thousand angels, come! Raise the song of harvest home. Topics: Harvest; Rural Life; Harvest; Jesus Christ Second Coming of; Mission; Reign of Christ; Rural Life Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30 Tune Title: ST GEORGE’S WINDSOR
