Hymn # 565 COME, YE THANKFUL PEOPLE

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.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

For the Lord our God shall come,And shall take His harvest home;

From His field shall in that dayAll offenses purge away;

Give His angels charge at lastIn the fire the tares to cast;But the fruitful ears to store

In His garner everymore.

Verse 4

Even so, Lord, quickly comeTo Thy final harvest home;Gather Thou Thy people in

Free from sorrow, free from sin;

There, forever purified,In Thy presence to abide;

Come, with all Thine angels, come,

Raise the glorious harvest home.

All things wise & wonderful,The Lord God made them all.

How great is God Almighty,Who has made all things well.

Hymn # 397 LIKE A RIVER GLORIOUS

Like a river glorious is God's perfect peace,

Over all victorious in its bright increase,

Perfect, yet it floweth, fuller every day,

Perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.

Chorus

Stayed upon Jehovah,Hearts are fully blest,

Finding as He promised,Perfect peace and rest.

Verse 2

Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand,

Never foe can follow, never traitor stand,

Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,Not a blast of hurry

Touch the spirit there.

Chorus



Verse 3

Every joy or trial falleth from above,

Traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love.

We may trust Him fully all for us to do,

They who trust Him wholly,Find Him wholly true.

Chorus



BLESS THE LORD (10000 Reasons)

Bless the Lord, oh my soul,Oh my soul,

worship His holy name,Sing like never before, oh my soul,

I worship Your holy name.

The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning,

It time to sing Your song again.Whatever may pass and Whatever lies before me,

Let me be singing when the ev'ning comes

Chorus




You're rich in love and You're slow to anger,

Your name is great and Your heart is kind.

For all Your goodness I will keep on singing,

Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find.

Chorus




And on that day when my strength is failing,

The end draws near and my time has come.Still my soul will sing Your praise unending,Ten thousand years

and then for-ev-er more.

Chorus
