Hymn 173 – COME, ye thankful people, come | C&S English Hymnary

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 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 Unto joy or sorrow grown; First the blade, and then the ear Then the full corn shall appear Grant, O harvest Lord, 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 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. 4. Then, thou church triumphant, come Raise the song of harvest home All are safetly gathered in Free from sorrow, free from sin There for ever purified, In God’s garner to abide Come, ten thousand angels, come Raise the glorious harvest home! AMEN
