For the ploughing, sowing, reaping, silent growth while we are sleeping, future needs in earth's safe-keeping, 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, thanks be to God.

Blessèd Jesus! wouldst thou know Him? O how He loves! Give thine heart, thine all unto Him; O how He loves! Is it sin that pains or grieves thee, Unbelief or trials seize thee? Jesus can from all release thee; O how He loves! 4. Love this Friend: He longs to save thee; O how He loves! All through life He will not leave thee; O how He loves! Think no more of friendships hollow; Take His easy yoke and follow; Jesus carries all thy sorrow; O how He loves! 5. All thy sins shall be forgiven; O how He loves! Backward shall thy foes be driven; O how He loves! Best of blessings He’ll provide thee; Naught but good shall e’er betide thee; Safe to glory He will guide thee; O how He loves!

Soft the drowsy hours are creeping, Hill and vale in slumber sleeping, I my loving vigil keeping, All through the night. 2 While the moon her watch is keeping All through the night; While the weary world is sleeping All through the night. Over thy spirit gently stealing, Visions of delight revealing, Breathes a pure and holy feeling, All through the night. 3 Deep the silence round us spreading, All through the night; Dark the path that we are treading, All through the night. Still the coming day discerning, By the hope within us burning, To the dawn our footsteps turning, All through the night. 4 Star of Faith the dark adorning, All through the night; Leads us fearless toward the morning, All through the night. Though our hearts be wrapped in sorrow, From the home of dawn we borrow, Promise of a glad tomorrow, All through the night.
