"O come, let us sing unto the Lord; let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation."

COME, loud anthems let us sing, Loud thanks to our almighty King, And high our grateful voices raise, As our Salvation's Rock we praise.

2 Into His presence let us haste

To thank Him for His favours past;
To Him address, in joyful songs,
The praise that to His Name belongs.

3 For God the Lord, enthroned in state,
Is with unrivall'd glory great;
The depths of earth are in His hand,
Her secret wealth at His command.

4 O let us to His courts repair,
And bow with adoration there;
Low on our knees with reverence fall,
And on the Lord our Maker call.

AMEN.

"O clap your hands together, all ye people; O sing unto God with the voice of melody."

NOW thank we all our God,

With heart and hands and voices,

Who wondrous things hath done,

In whom His world rejoices;

Who from our mother's arms
Hath bless'd us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours to-day.
O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts

And blessed peace to cheer us;

Hymn 305.

[First Tune.]

Amen.

"Who giveth food to all flesh; for His mercy endureth for ever."

PRAISE, O praise our God and King!
Hymns of adoration sing;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

2 Praise Him that He made the sun
Day by day his course to run;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:

3 And the silver moon by night,
Shining with her gentle light;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

4 Praise Him that He gave the rain
To mature the swelling grain;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:

[Second Tune.]

SEMI-CHORUS.

5 And hath bid the fruitful field
Crops of precious increase yield;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

6 Praise Him for our harvest-store,
He hath fill'd, the garner-floor;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure:

7 And for richer food than this,
Pledge of everlasting bliss;
For His mercies still endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

8 Glory to our bounteous King!
Glory let creation sing!

Glory to the Father, Son,

And blest Spirit, Three in One. AMEN.

[blocks in formation]

They joy before Thee, according to the joy of harvest."

COME, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of Harvest-home: All is safely gather'd in, Ere the winter storms begin; God, our Maker, doth 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 tares 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. I. [Second Tune.]

[ocr errors]

3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take His harvest home:
From His field shall in that day
All offences purge away;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.

4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final Harvest-home:
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There for ever purified,

In Thy presence to abide:

Come with all Thine angels, come,

Raise the glorious Harvest-home. AMEN.
