Come, Ye Thankful People, Come (Hymn 436) | Grace Community Church Congregation & Orchestra

Details

Description

1.Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home!
All is safely gathered in
Ere the winter storms begin.
God, our Maker, does provide
For our wants to be supplied.
Come to God’s own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest home.

2.We ourselves are God’s own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unti joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear;
Lord the harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.

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

4.Even so, Lord, quickly come,
Bring Your final harvest home;
Gather Thou Your people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin.
There, forever purified,
In Your presence to abide;
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home.

Words: Henry Alford
Music: George J Elvey
