Hymn 701 – TO Thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise | C&S English Hymnary

1. TO Thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise In hymns of adoration To Thee bring sacrifice of praise With shouts of exultations Bright robes of gold the field adorn The hills with joy are ringing The valleys stand are ringing The valleys stand so thick with corn That even they are singing. 2. And now, on this our festal day Thy bounteous hand confessing Before Thee thankfully we lay The first-fruits of Thy blessing By Thee the souls of men are fed With gifts of grace supernals Thou who dost give us earthly bread Give us the bread eternal. 3. We bear the burden of the day And often toil seems dreary But labour ends with sunset ray And rest comes for the weary May we, the angel-reaping o’er Stand at the last accepted Christ's golden sheaves for evermore To garmers bright elected. 4. O blessed is that land of God Where saints abide for ever Where golden fields spread far and broad Where flows the crystal river The strains of all its holy throng With ours to-day are blending Thrice blessed is that harvest song Which never hath and ending AMEN
