Sing to the Lord of harvest

Author: J. S. B. Monsell Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest, Sing songs of love and praise; With joyful hearts and voices Your Hallelujahs raise: By Him the rolling seasons In fruitful order move. Sing to the Lord of harvest A song of happy love. 2 By Him the clouds drop fatness, The deserts bloom and spring; The hills leap up in gladness, The valleys laugh and sing. He filleth with His fullness All things with large increase, He crowns the year with goodness, With plenty and with peace. 3 Bring to His sacred altar The gifts His goodness gave, The golden sheaves of harvest, The souls He died to save: Your hearts lay down before Him, When at His feet we fall, And with your lives adore Him, Who gave His life for all. 4 To God, the gracious Father Who made us "very good:" To Christ, who, when we wandered, Restored us with His blood: And to the Holy Spirit, Who doth upon us pour His blessèd dews and sunshine, Be praise forevermore.

The ripening fields ye see, Mighty shall the harvest be; But the reapers still are few, Great the work they have to do. 7 Lord of harvest, let there be Joy and strength to work for Thee Till the nations, far and near, See Thy light, and learn Thy fear.

Author: Annie R. Cousin Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.4 Appears in 324 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of heaven breaks, The summer morn I've sighed for, The fair, sweet morn awakes. O dark hath been the midnight, But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 2 O Christ, He is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love! The streams of earth I've tasted; More deep I'll drink above. There, to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 3 With mercy and with judgment My web of time He wove, And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustred with His love: I'll bless the hand that guided, I'll bless the heart that planned When throned where glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 4 The bride eyes not her garment, But her dear bridegroom's face; I will not gaze at glory, But on my King of grace; Not at the crown He giveth, But on His piercèd hand; The Lamb is all the glory Of Immanuel's land.

The Son of God goes forth to war

Author: R. Heber Appears in 846 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar; Who follows in His train? Who best can drink His cup of woe, Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky; And called on Him to save; Like Him, with pardon on His tongue; In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train? 3 A noble band, the chosen few, On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew And mocked the cross and flame; They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane, They bowed their necks the stroke to feel; Who follows in their train? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Savior's throne rejoice, In robes of light arrayed. They climbed the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train.
