Great God, As Seasons Disappear

Author: Edmund Butcher Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10170 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great God, as seasons disappear, And changes mark the rolling year, Thy favor still has crowned our days, And we would celebrate Thy praise. 2 The harvest song would we repeat, Thou givest us the finest wheat; The joys of harvest we have known; The praise, O Lord is all Thine own. 3 Our tables spread, our garners stored, O give us hearts to bless Thee, Lord: Forbid it, Source of light and love, That hearts and lives should barren prove. 4 Another harvest comes apace: Ripen our spirits by Thy grace, That we may calmly meet the blow The sickle gives to lay us low. 5 That so, when angel reapers come To gather sheaves to Thy blest home, Our spirits may be borne on high To Thy safe garner in the sky.

Great God, as seasons disappear

Author: Campbell Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #980 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great God, as seasons disappear, And changes mark the rolling year, As time with rapid pinions flies, May every season make us wise. 2 Long has thy favor crowned our days, And summer shed again its rays; No deadly cloud our sky has vailed; No blasting winds our path assailed. 3 Our harvest months have o'er us rolled, And filled our fields with waving gold; Our tables spread, our garners stored! Where are our hearts to praise the Lord? 4 The solemn harvest comes apace, The closing day of life and grace: Time of decision, awful hour! Around it let no tempests lower! 5 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine, Like stars in heaven to rise and shine; Then shall our happy souls above Reap the full harvest of thy love!
