(1)
Come, 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
for our wants to be supplied;
come to God's own temple, come,
raise the song of harvest home.

14. All the world is God's own field, fruit as praise to God we yield;
(2)
All the world is God's own field,
fruit as praise to God we yield;
wheat and tares together sown
are to 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.

15. For the Lord our God shall come, and shall take the harvest home;
(3)
For the Lord our God shall come,
and shall take the harvest home;
from the field shall in that day
all offenses purge away,
giving angels charge at last
in the fire the tares to cast;
but the fruitful ears to store
in the garner evermore.

16. Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring Thy final harvest home;
(4)
Even so, Lord, quickly come,
bring 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.

(A song for Christ the King Sunday)

21. THE HOLY SCRIPTURE Philippians 1:1-11
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the return of Christ Jesus.

22. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the return of Christ, filled with the fruit of right living that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

We gather together
to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens
His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing
now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His Name;
He forgets not His own.

(2)
Beside us to guide us,
our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining
His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning
the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side,
all glory be Thine!

26. Thou Leader triumphant, And pray that Thou still our Defender will be.
(3)
We all do extol Thee,
Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still
our Defender will be.
Let Thy congregation
escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised!
O Lord, make us free!

Words are on the screen if you would like to sing along.

Wonderful grace of Jesus, Greater than all my sin; How shall my tongue describe it, Where shall its praise begin? Taking away my burden, Setting my spirit free; For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

42. (1b)
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus, Deeper than the mighty rolling sea; Higher than the mountain,
sparkling like a fountain, All-sufficient grace for even me! Broader than the scope
of my transgressions, Greater far than all my sin and shame; Oh, magnify the precious Name of Jesus, Praise His Name!

43. (2a)
Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching the most defiled, By its transforming power, Making him God’s dear child, Purchasing peace and heaven For all eternity— And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

44. (2b)
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus, Deeper than the mighty rolling sea; Higher than the mountain,
sparkling like a fountain, All-sufficient grace for even me! Broader than the scope
of my transgressions, Greater far than all my sin and shame; Oh, magnify the precious Name of Jesus, Praise His Name!

name them one by one, And it will surprise you
what the Lord has done.

with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy
you are called to bear? Count your many blessings,
every doubt will fly, And you will keep singing
as the days go by.
