- 1Come, 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.
- 2We ourselves are God's own field,
- Fruit to His high 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.
- 3For the Lord our God shall come
- And shall take His 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.
- 4Even 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.
- 5Amen.
