Lord of the living harvest

Author: J.S.B. Monsell Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest, That whitens o'er the plain, Where angels soon shall gather Their sheaves of golden grain, Accept these hands to labor, These hearts to trust and love, And deign with them to hasten Thy kingdom from above. 2 As laborers in Thy vineyard, Send us, O Christ, to be Content to bear the burden Of weary days for Thee; We ask no other wages, When Thou shalt call us home, But to have shared Thy travail And see Thy kingdom come. 3 Come down, Thou Holy Spirit, And fill our souls with light; Clothe us in spotless raiment, In linen clean and white; Within Thy sacred temple Be with us, where we stand, And sanctify Thy people Throughout this happy land. 4 Be with us, God the Father, Be with us, God the Son, Be with us, God the Spirit, O blessed Three in One! Make us a royal priesthood, Thee rightly to adore, And fill us with Thy fullness, Now, and for evermore.

Landstad Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In house and home where man and wife Together lead a godly life, By deeds their faith confessing, There many a happy day is spent, There Jesus gladly will consent To tarry with His blessing. 2 If thou hast given Him thine heart, The place of honor set apart For Him each night and morrow; Then He the storms of life will calm, Will bring for every wound a balm, And change to joy thy sorrow. 3 And if thy home be dark and drear, The cruse be empty, hunger near, All hope within thee dying; Despair not in thy sore distress, Lo, Christ is there the bread to bless The fragments multiplying. 4 O Lord, we come before Thy face; In every home bestow Thy grace On children, father, mother; Relieve their wants, their burdens ease, Let them together dwell in peace And love to one another!

Day of wrath! that day of mourning!

Author: Thomas of Celano Meter: 8.8.8 Appears in 108 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath! O day of mourning! See fulfilled the prophets' warning, Heaven and earth in ashes burning! 2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth. 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth; Through earth's sepulchers it ringeth; All before the throne it bringeth. 4 Death is struck, and nature quaking, All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. 5 Lo! the Book, exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded! Thence shall judgment be awarded. 6 When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? 8 King of majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 9 Think, good Jesus! my salvation Cost Thy wondrous incarnation, Leave me not to reprobation! 10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the cross of suffering bought me: Shall such grace in vain be brought me? 11 Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution. 12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning; Spare, O God, thy suppliant groaning! 13 Thou the sinful woman savedst; Thou the dying thief forgavest; And to me a hope vouchsafest. 14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying! 15 With thy favored sheep O place me! Nor among the goats abase me; But to Thy right hand upraise me. 16 While the wicked are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me, with Thy saints surrounded. 17 Bows my heart in meek submission, Strews with ashes of contrition; Help me in my last condition. 18 Ah, that day of tears and mourning! From the dust of earth returning Man for judgment must prepare him; 19 Spare, O God, in mercy spare him! Lord, all pitying, Jesus blest, Grant them Thine eternal rest!

Ah, Lord, I do not merit The favor Thou hast shown, And all my soul and spirit Bow down before Thy throne. 4 Lord, grant me that, thus strengthened With heavenly food, while here My course on earth is lengthened, I serve with holy fear; And when Thou call’st my spirit To leave this world below, I enter, through Thy merit, Where joys unmingled flow.
