the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the strain of praise away.

your church beneath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
your wondrous doings heard on high.

like earth's proud empires, pass away;
your rule remains and grows forever,
until there dawns that glorious day. Used With Tune: ST CLEMENT

raise the song of harvest-home!
All is safely gathered in,
safe before the storms begin;
God, our maker, does provide
for our needs 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,
harvests for God's praise to yield;
wheat and weeds together sown,
here for joy or sorrow grown;
first the blade, and then the ear,
then the full corn shall appear:
Harvest-giver, grant that we
wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For our God, one day, shall come,
and shall take this harvest home,
from the field shall in that day
all offences purge away;
giving angels charge at last
in the fire the weeds to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in the garner evermore.
4 Even so, God, quickly come
to your final harvest-home!
Gather all your people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin;
there for ever purified,
in your presence to abide:
come, with all your angels, come,
raise the glorious harvest-home. Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30 Used With Tune: ST GEORGE'S, WINDSOR
