VII-A SONG OF THANKSGIVING (ALL STANDING)

St. George's, Windsor

G. J. Elvey (1816-93)

1. Come, ye thankful peo- ple, come, Raise the song of Har-vest Home: All the world is God's own field, Fruit un to His praise to yield;

2.

All is safely
Wheat and tares to

gathered in, Ere the win-ter storms be- gin; gether sown, Un to joy or sorrow grown;

God, our Ma-ker, doth pro-vide For our wants to be sup- plied;
First the blade, and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear;

IX-SONG (ALL STANDING)—

Duke St.

Hatton (1790)

ᄒ

God, be-neath Thy guiding hand Our ex-iled fathers

crossed the sea; And when they trod the win

rdj

With pray'r and psalm they worshiped Thee.

A men.

2. Thou heard'st, well pleased, the song, the prayer:
Thy blessing came, and still its power
Shall onward, through all ages, bear

The memory of that holy hour.

3. Laws, freedom, truth and faith in God

Came with those exiles o'er the waves;
And where their pilgrim feet have trod,
The God they trusted guards their graves,

4. And here Thy name, O God of love,

Their children's children shall adore
Till these eternal hills remove,

And spring adorns the earth no more.

H

Köcher (1786-1872)

1. { Bounteous source of every joy, Let Thy praise our tongues employ;

4

All to Thee, our God, we owe, Source whence all our blessings flow. Amen.

2. All the plenty summer pours;
Autumn's rich o'erflowing stores;
Flocks that whiten all the plain;
Yellow sheaves of ripened grain;
Lord, for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.

3. Peace, prosperity, and health,
Private bliss, and public wealth,
Knowledge with its gladdening streams
Pure religion's holier beams.

Lord, for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.

4. As Thy prospering hand hath blest
May we give Thee of our best,
And by deeds of kindly love
For Thy mercies grateful prove.
Singing thus through all our days
Praise to God, immortal praise.

-Tr. MRS. A. L. BARBAULD (1772)

This is the Sabbath day

Let us rejoice and be glad therein

I was glad when they said unto me
Let us go into the house of the Lord.
The Lord is in his holy temple.

Let all the earth keep silence before Him.
