Lord of the harvest, Thee we hail!
Author: J. H. Gurney Meter: 8.8.8.8.4.4.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the harvest, Thee we hail!
Thine ancient promise doth not fail;
The varying seasons haste their round;
With goodness all our years are crowned;
Our thanks we pay,
This holy day,
Oh, let our hearts in tune be found.
2 When spring doth wake the sound of mirth,
When summer warms the fruitful earth,
When autumn yields its ripened grain,
Or winter sweeps the naked plain,
We still do sing
To Thee our King;
Through all their changes Thou dost reign.
3 But chiefly when Thy liberal hand
Bestows new plenty o'er the land,
When sounds of music fill the air,
As homeward all their treasures bear;
We too will raise
Our hymn of praise,
For we Thy common bounties share.
4 Lord of harvest, all is Thine:
The rains that fall, the suns that shine,
The seed once hidden in the ground,
The skill that makes our fruits abound:
New every year,
Thy gifts appear;
New praises from our lips shall sound.

Lord of the harvest, Thee we hail!
St. Agnes
Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: O holy martyr, spotless dove Lyrics: 1 O holy martyr, spotless dove,
With joy we celebrate thy day;
Thou dwellest now in bliss above,
Where tyrants o'er thee have no sway.
Sweet Agnes, pure, angelic child,
Sweet Agnes, pray, Oh, pray for us!
2 Thy cruel suff'rings all are past,
A crown of glory decks thy brow;
Celestial light is round thee cast,
And God is thine forever now.
Sweet Agnes, pure, angelic child,
Sweet Agnes, pray, Oh, pray for us!
3 Oh, pray that we may ever seek
To be as free as thou from stain;
As constant, fervent, pure and meek,
Regardless of earth's fleeting pain.
4 And, holy saint, be this our prayer,
That prizing not the world's renown,
Through trials it may be our care,
To strive but for a heavenly crown.

St. Agnes
Father, if Thou My Father Art
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Father, if Thou my Father art,
Send forth the Spirit of Thy Son,
Breathe Him into my panting heart,
And make me know as I am known;
Make me Thy conscious child, that I
May Father, Abba, Father, cry.
2. I want the Spirit of power within,
Of love, and of a healthful mind;
Of power to conquer inbred sin;
Of love, to Thee and all mankind;
Of health, that pain and death defies,
Most vigorous when the body dies.
3. When shall I hear the inward Voice,
Which only faithful souls can hear?
Pardon, and peace, and heavenly joys
Attend the promised Comforter;
O come, and righteousness divine,
And Christ, and all with Christ, are mine!
4. O that the Comforter would come,
Nor visit as a transient guest;
But fix in me His constant home,
And take possession of my breast,
And fix in me His loved abode,
The temple of indwelling God!
5. Come, Holy Ghost, my heart inspire,
Attest that I am born again;
Come and baptize me now with fire,
Nor let Thy former gifts be vain;
I cannot rest in sins forgiven;
Where is the earnest of my heaven?
6. Where the indubitable seal
That ascertains the kingdom mine?
The powerful stamp I long to feel,
The signature of love divine?
O shed it in my heart abroad,
Fullness of love, of Heaven, of God! Used With Tune: ZEBULUN Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1740, page 131

Lord God of hosts, Whose mighty hand
Author: J. Oxenham Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God of hosts, Whose mighty hand
Dominion holds on sea and land,
In peace and war Thy will we see
Shaping the larger liberty;
Nations may rise and nations fall,
Thy changeless purpose rules them all.
2 For those who weak and broken lie
In weariness and agony,
Great Healer, to their beds of pain
Come, touch and make them whole again.
O hear a people's prayers, and bless
Thy servants in their hour of stress!
3 For those to whom the call shall come,
We pray Thy tender welcome home;
The toil, the bitterness, all past,
We trust them to Thy love at last.
O hear a people's prayers for all!
Who, nobly striving, nobly fall!
4 For those who minister and heal,
And spend themselves, their skill, their zeal;
Renew their hearts with Christ-like faith,
And guard them from disease and death:
And in thine own good time, Lord, send
Thy peace on earth till time shall end. Topics: Holy Days National Days Used With Tune: FABER
