From ocean unto ocean
Author: Robert Murray, 1832-1909 Hymnal: TBP1997 #801 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 From ocean unto ocean
our land shall name you, Lord
and, filled with true devotion,
obey your sovereign word;
our prairies and our mountains,
forest and fertile field,
our rivers, lakes and fountains
to you shall tribute yield.
2 O Christ, we pray before you:
come in your power to dwell.
Now humbly we implore you:
make this land whole and well,
and may we know, Lord Jesus,
the touch of your dear hand,
and, healed of our diseases,
the tempter's power withstand.
3 Our Savior King, defend us,
and guide where we should go;
forth with your message send us,
your love and light to show;
till, fired with true devotion
and kindled by your word,
from ocean unto ocean
our land shall name you Lord. Topics: Evangelism; Jesus Christ Kingship / Reign; National Occasions Scripture: Psalm 72:8 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

thanks be to God;
for his gifts to every nation,
thanks be to God;

silent growth while we are sleeping,
future needs in earth’s safekeeping,
thanks be to God.
2 In the just reward of labour,
God’s will is done;
in the help we give our neighbour,
God’s will is done;
in our worldwide task of caring
for the hungry and despairing,
in the harvests we are sharing,
God’s will is done.
3 For the harvests of the Spirit,
thanks be to God;
for the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God;
for the wonders that astound us,
for the truths that still confound us,
most of all, that love has found us,

For the fruits of all creation
Come, ye thankful people, come
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Hymnal: TBP1997 #803 (1997) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 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.
2 All the world is God's own field,
fruit unto God's praise to yield;
wheat and weeds together sown,
unto 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.
3 For the Lord our God shall come
and shall take the harvest home;
from the field shall in that day
all offences purge away,
give the angels charge at last
in the fire the tares to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in God's storehouse evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
to 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. Topics: Descants and Fauxbourdons; God Creator and Ruler; Harvest Thanksgiving; Rural Life / Rogation Sunday; Second Coming Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Author: William Watkins Reid, 1890- Hymnal: TBP1997 #805 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Give thanks, my soul, for harvest,
for store of fruit and grain,
but know the owner gives us
that we may share again;
where souls are lone and hungry,
where needy children cry,
with gifts from God’s rich bounty
may thankfulness reply.
2 Give thanks, my soul, for riches
of woodland, mine and hill,
but know that gold and timber
are the Creator's still,
and God's on loan to stewards
to fashion and to share,
providing all earth's children
the blessing of God's care.
3 Give thanks, my soul, for labours
that strength and days employ,
but know your Maker's purpose
brings toil as well as joy.
Where leads the path to error,
where justice lies in chain,
where hoarders cause new hunger,
there must we strive again.
4 Give thanks, my soul, for beauty,
for vision, hope and skill,
for Christ, divine revealer
of God's redeeming will.
Show forth, O God, your purpose;
direct our will and hand
to share your love and bounty
with all, in every land. Topics: God Will of; Harvest Thanksgiving; Hope; Social Concerns / Social Justice; Stewardship; Vision / Dream; Work Scripture: Psalm 50:10-11 Languages: English Tune Title: CRÜGER

and soft refreshing rain.

All good gifts around us
are sent from heaven above;
We thank you, Lord, we thank you, Lord
for all your love.

of all things near and far;
you paint the wayside flower,
you light the evening star;
the winds and waves obey you;
by you the birds are fed;
much more to us, your children,
you give our daily bread. [Refrain]
3 We thank you, our provider,
for all things bright and good,
the seed-time, and the harvest,
our life, our health, our food.
No gifts have we to offer
for all your love imparts,
but that which you most welcome:
our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain]

le sang dans nos artères:
tout vient du Dieu vivant.

Bénis ton Dieu sans cesse,
ô peuple des chrétiens,
fais tiennes ses promesses,
jouis de tous ses biens.

il veut multiplier. [Refrain] Topics: Children and Youth Harvest Thanksgiving; God Providence of; God Creator and Ruler; Harvest Thanksgiving; Languages other than English French; Rural Life / Rogation Sunday Scripture: Luke 12:6-7 Languages: English; French Tune Title: WIR PFLUGEN (DRESDEN)

Come in, come in, New Year
Author: Shirley Murray, 1931- Hymnal: TBP1997 #808 (1997) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come in, come in, New Year
with sparkling winter day!*
Your promise calls us here
to celebrate and pray,
through January's open door
to stride with hopeful step once more.
2 Come in, New Year, and sell
your wares of chance and change:
engage us with your spell
to risk and rearrange,
to feel the Spirit's impulse beat,
to follow down a different street.
3 For though December dies,
still Christmas keeps the light,
the hope in children's eyes,
the star that shatters night;
now Simeon and Anna see
the child who rules all time to be.
4 The calendar of Christ
will mark the seasons' turn;
his story claim our trust;
his love be ours to learn.
For all the world, for young and old,
we pray a year of peace unfold!

All beautiful the march of days
Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile, 1878-1939 Hymnal: TBP1997 #809 (1997) Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days,
as seasons come and go;
the hand that shaped the rose hath wrought
the crystal of the snow,
hath sent the hoary frost of heaven,
the flowing waters sealed,
and laid a silent loveliness
on hill and wood and field.
2 O’er white expanses sparkling pure
the radiant morns unfold;
the solemn splendours of the night
burn brightly through the cold;
life mounts in every throbbing vein,
love deepens round the hearth,
and clearer sounds the angel hymn,
good will to all on earth.
3 O thou from whose unfathomed law
the year in beauty flows,
thyself the vision passing by
in crystal and in rose;
day unto day doth utter speech,
and night to night proclaim
in ever-changing words of light
the wonder of thy name. Topics: Christmas; Old and New Year; Rural Life / Rogation Sunday Scripture: Psalm 19:2 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS CAROL
