  1. 1To Thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise
  2. In hymns of adoration,
  3. To Thee bring sacrifice of praise
  4. With shouts of exultation:
  5. Bright robes of gold the fields adorn,
  6. The hills with joy are ringing,
  7. The valleys stand so thick with corn
  8. That even they are singing.
  9. 2And now, on this our festal day,
  10. Thy bounteous hand confessing,
  11. Upon Thine altar, Lord, we lay
  12. The first-fruits of Thy blessing:
  13. By Thee the souls of men are fed
  14. With gifts of grace supernal;
  15. Thou who dost give us daily bread,
  16. Give us the Bread eternal.
  17. 3We bear the burden of the day,
  18. And often toil seems dreary;
  19. But labor ends with sunset ray,
  20. And rest is for the weary;
  21. May we, the angel-reaping o'er,
  22. Stand at the last accepted,
  23. Christ's golden sheaves for evermore,
  24. To garners bright elected.
  25. 4O blessèd is that land of God
  26. Where saints abide for ever,
  27. Where golden fields spread fair and broad,
  28. Where flows the crystal river:
  29. The strains of all its holy throng
  30. With ours to-day are blending;
  31. Thrice blessèd is that harvest-song
  32. Which never hath an ending.
  33. 5Amen.
