O Lord, our God, accept, we pray
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a135 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our God, accept, we pray,
The house we consecrate this day:
And let Thy glory fill this place—
The glory of Thy truth and grace.
2 Here give us e'er such servants, Lord,
As rightly will divide Thy Word;
That all may grow, by what they hear,
In saving grace and holy fear.
3 Here too baptize Thou those, and bless,
Who plead Thy cov'nant promises,
To us and to our children given,
And with us make them heirs of heaven.
4 Here let Thy tender lambs be fed,
Yea, fed with Thine own living bread;
To hear Thy voice let them be taught,
And from Thy fold to wander not.
5 Here let Thy holy Sacrament
According to Thy Word be spent;
And grant that all indeed believe,
Who here the heavenly food receive.
6 O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Here bless us as we need it most!
Our prayer and praise accept in love,
And fit us for our home above.

O Lord, our God, accept, we pray
Come Christians, praise your Maker's goodness
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a136 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Come Christians, praise your Maker's goodness,
Rejoice in Him and in His gift;
To-day before the Lord of harvest
In happy songs your voices lift;
For He who cared for us of yore
Hath bless'd our fields and homes once more.
2 Accept, O Lord, our thankful praises
For all our Father doth bestow;
May it increase our faith, and lead us
Our praise by godly lives to show;
That every deed and word may prove
We trust and own our Father's love.
3 Thou feedest us in pure compassion;
Teach us to care for others' need;
Let each, as he is able, comfort
The sick and poor, the hungry feed:
O Father Thou of all below,
On each what most he needs bestow.
4 Open Thy bounteous hands in blessing
Thus to refresh us, year by year;
Provide for us through all life's journey,
And make us faithful stewards while here
Of all that to our care is given,
That greater gifts be ours in heaven.
5 Preserve to us what Thou hast sent us,
And grant us calm and peaceful days
And grateful hearts, that we may use it
In quiet gladness to Thy praise:
And while our bodies thus are fed,
O grant our souls the Living Bread!

Bright rays of autumn quiver
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a139 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Bright rays of autumn quiver
On fields of fretted gold,
By purple hill and river
Wide o'ver the land unrolled,
And while the reapers gather
The wealth of harvest day,
To Thee, O bounteous Father,
Through Christ we offer praise.
2 The precious things of heaven,
Warm days and dewy nights,
Soft rain in season given,
Bright clouds and tender lights;
Their genial influence blending,
Matured the sower's boon,
Till heavy ears were bending
Beneath the harvest moon,
3 And now, like hands uplifted,
The sheaves in order stand,
To praise the Lord, who gifted
With plenteous store the land;
Our lips shall own His kindness,
And tell His love abroad,
To shame the willful blindness
Of those who know not God.
4 Lord, while the whole creation
Bears witness to Thy care,
O hear our supplication,
And grant Thy children's prayer;
While thus our wants supplying,
Our table Thou dost spread,
O feed our souls undying
With Christ, the Living Bread! Topics: The Church Year Harvest Languages: English

Rest upon us from above!

With each other and the Lord,
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford. Topics: Sunday Close of Service Languages: English

Lord of the harvest! Thee we hail
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a140 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Lord of the harvest! Thee we hail!
Thine ancient promise doth not fail;
The varying seasons haste their round;
With goodness all our years are crowned;
Our thanks we pay, this festal day,
O let our hearts in tune be found.
2 Lord of harvest! all is Thine:
The rains that fall, the suns that shine,
The seed once hidden in the ground,
The skill that makes our fruits abound:
New every year Thy gifts appear;
New praises from our lips shall sound.
3 Immortal honor, endless fame,
Attend th' Almighty Father's name;
Like honor to th' Incarnate Son,
Who for lost man redemption won,
And equal praise we thankful raise
To Thee, blest Spirit! with them One. Topics: The Church Year Harvest Languages: English
Lord of the harvest! Thee we hail
Summer ended, harvest o'er
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a141 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Summer ended, harvest o'er,
Lord, to Thee our song we pour,
For the valley's golden yield,
For the fruits of tree and field;
2 For the promise ever sure
That while heaven and earth endure
See time, harvest, cold and heat
Shall their yearly round complete;
3 For the care, which while we slept,
Watch o'er field and furrow kept,
Watch o'er all the buried grain,
Soon to burst to life again.
4 When the reaping angels bring,
Tares and wheat before the King,
Jesus! may we gathered be
In the heavenly barn to Thee.
5 Then the angel cry shall sound:
Praise the Lamb: the lost are found!
And the answering song shall be:
Alleluia, praise to Thee!
6 Praise to Thee! the toil is o'er;
Blight and curse shall be no more;
Lo! the mighty work is done:
Glory to the Three in One! Topics: The Church Year Harvest Languages: English
Summer ended, harvest o'er
Come, ye thankful people, come
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a142 (1895) Lyrics: 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, doth provide
That our wants are all 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
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.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take the harvest home;
From His field shall purge away
All that doth offend that day,
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, forever purified,
In Thy presence to abide;
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home.

What our Father does, is well
Hymnal: ELH91895 #a143 (1895) Lyrics: 1 What our Father does is well;
Blessèd truth—His children tell!
Though He send for plenty want,
Though the harvest store be scant,
Yet we rest upon His love,
Seeking better things above.
2 What our Father does, is well;
Shall the willful heart rebel?
If a blessing He withhold
In the field, or in the fold,
Is He not Himself to be
All our store eternally?
3 What our Father does is well;
May the thought within us dwell;
Though nor milk nor honey flow
In our barren Canaan now,
God can save us in our need,
God can bless us, God can feed.
4 What our Father does, is well;
Though He sadden hill and dell,
Upward yet our praises rise
For the strength His Word supplies.
He has called us sons of God;
Can we murmur at his rod?
5 Therefore unto Him we raise
Hymns of glory, songs of praise:
To the Father, and the Son,
And the Spirit, Three in One,
Honor might and glory be
Now and through eternity. Topics: The Church Year Harvest Languages: English
