THANKSGIVING

Come, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest-home: All is safely gathered 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.

All this 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.

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.

f

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.

—Henry Alford.
