EN 3006 Lord of the Harvest, Once Again

Matt.13.39

Versi Version 1

1

Lord of the harvest, once again,

We thank Thee for the ripened grain;

For crops safe carried, sent to cheer

Thy servants through another year;

For all sweet holy thoughts supplied

By seed time, and by harvest tide.

2

The bare dead grain, in autumn sown,

Its robe of vernal green it puts on;

Glad from its wintry grave it springs,

Fresh garnished by the King of kings;

So, Lord, to those who sleep in Thee

Shall new and glorious bodies be.

3

Nor vainly of Thy Word we ask

A lesson from the reaper’s task:

So shall Thine angels issue forth:

The tares be burnt; the just of earth,

To wind and storm exposed no more,

Be gathered to their Father’s store.

4

Daily, O Lord, our prayers be said,

As Thou hast taught, for daily bread;

But not alone our bodies feed,

Supply our fainting spirits’ need:

O Bread of life, from day to day

Be Thou their Comfort, Food, and Stay.
