EN 1242 Lord of the Harvest! It Is Right and Meet

Ps.72.19

Versi Version 1

1

Lord of the harvest! it is right and meet

That we should lay our first-fruits at Thy feet

With joyful Alleluia.

2

Sweet is the soul’s thanksgiving after prayer;

Sweet is the worship that with Heav’n we share,

Who sing the Alleluia!

3

Lowly we prayed, and Thou didst hear on high—

Didst lift our hearts and change our suppliant cry

To festal Alleluia.

4

So sing we now in tune with that great song,

That all the age of ages shall prolong,

The endless Alleluia.

5

To Thee, O Lord of Harvest, who hast heard,

And to Thy white robed reapers giv’n the word,

We sing our Alleluia.

6

O Christ, who in the wide world’s ghostly sea

Hast bid the net be cast anew, to Thee

We sing our Alleluia.

7

To Thee, eternal Spirit, who again

Hast moved with life upon the slumbrous main,

We sing our Alleluia.

8

Yea, West and East the companies go forth;

“We come!” is sounding to the South and North;

To God sing Alleluia.

9

The fishermen of Jesus far away

Seek in new waters an immortal prey;

To Christ the Alleluia.

10

The Holy Dove is brooding o’er the deep,

And careless hearts are waking out of sleep;

To Him sing Alleluia.

11

Yea, for sweet hope new-born—blest work begun—

Sing Alleluia to the Three in One,

Adoring Alleluia.

12

Glory to God! the Church in patience cries;

Glory to God! the Church at rest replies,

With endless Alleluia.
