1 Come, ye thank-ful peo - ple, come,
2 All the world is God's own field,
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
4 Even so, Lord, quick-ly come,
1 Raise the song of Har - vest-Home;
2 Fruit on-to His praise to yield;
3 And shall take His har - vest home;
4 To Thy fi - nal Har - vest-Home!
1 All is safely gathered in,
2 Wheat and tares to-gether sown,
3 From His field shall in that day
4 Gather Thou Thy people in,
1 Ere the win -ter storms be - gin.
2 Un - to joy or sor - row grown:
3 All of - fenc-es purge a - way;
4 Free from sor -row, free from sin;
1 God, our Maker, doth pro-vide
2 First the blade, and then the ear,
3 Give His angels charge at last
4 There forever pur - i - fied,
1 For our wants to be sup -plied;
2 Then the full corn shall ap - pear;
3 In the fire the tares to cast,
4 In Thy Pres-ence to a - bide:
1 Come to God's own temple, come,
2 Lord of har - vest, grant that we
3 But the fruit-ful ears to store
4 Come, with all Thine angels, come,
1 Raise the song of Har -vest-Home.
2 Whole-some grain and pure may be.
3 In His gar - ner ev - er - more.
4 Raise the glo - rious Har -vest-Home!
