Hymn 850 – HOSTS of heav'nly Angels | C&S English Hymnary

1. HOSTS of heav'nly Angels The divine heav‘nly hosts The host of the Apostles Saints The host of heav‘nly beings All in heaven above Praise Thee at noon and night Almighty God the Trinity Omnipotent Most High. 2. Converging Band by Band Before Thee our Father To offer unto Thee our thanks Coupled with our off'rings Harvest offerings we brought To the God of harvest Oh God we plead descend and fill This house with Thine Glory. 3. Amidst countless horrors Encircling us about Amidst unstable earthly tides In harvest ages past To Thee we offer thanks For sparing all our lives To this our harvest day oh Lord We glorify Thy name. 4. When Noah’s offering he brought Rainbow, Thou manifest As sign that no flood will ever Submerge the earth again Rainbow please manifest For the sake of our Christ May sorrow and grief and anguish Nay our lot ever be. 5. The widow then of old Just little offered she Abundant blessings she received For the least offered she Jesus today we plead Pour Thy blessings on us All our offering we plead receive E‘en though substandard be. 6. We plead Thee oh our God Our hearts we plead receive Unwholesome heart brought we to Thee Wholly and filthy though With Thine blood Jesus cleanse The guilty stains away May all our hearts an offering be Of thanksgiving to Thee AMEN
