Text marked as lyrics
Come, you thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home; all is safely gathered in ere the winter storms begin; God, our Maker, does provide for our needs to be supplied; come, with all his people come, raise the song of harvest home. All the world is God's own field, fruit unto his 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. For the Lord our God shall come and shall take his harvest home; he himself in that great day all offense shall take away, give his angels charge at last in the fire the weeds to cast, but the fruitful ears to store in his garner evermore. Even so, Lord, quickly come to your final harvest home; gather all your people in, free from sorrow, free from sin— there, forever purified, in your presence to abide; come, with all your angels come, raise the glorious harvest home.
