\nCome, ye thankful people, come,
\nRaise the song of harvest home;
\nAll is safely gathered in,
\nEre the winter storms begin.
\nGod our Maker doth provide
\nFor our wants to be supplied;
\nCome to God’s own temple, come;
\nRaise the song of harvest home!<\/p>\n
2
\nWe ourselves are God’s own field,
\nFruit unto His praise to yield;
\nWheat and tares together sown,
\nUnto joy or sorrow grown;
\nFirst the blade and then the ear,
\nThen the full corn shall appear;
\nGrant, O harvest Lord, that we
\nWholesome grain and pure may be.<\/p>\n
3
\nFor the Lord our God shall come,
\nAnd shall take His harvest home;
\nFrom His field shall purge away
\nAll that doth offend, that day;
\nGive His angels charge at last
\nIn the fire the tares to cast;
\nBut the fruitful ears to store
\nIn His garner evermore.<\/p>\n
4
\nThen, thou church triumphant, come,
\nRaise the song of harvest home;
\nAll are safely gathered in,
\nFree from sorrow, free from sin,
\nThere, forever purified,
\nIn God’s garner to abide;
\nCome, ten thousand angels, come,
\nRaise the glorious harvest home!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
