Sing to the L-rd of Harvest
By: John S. B. Monsell
Sing to the L-rd of harvest,
Sing songs of love and praise;
With joyful hearts and voices
Your alleluias raise.
By him the rolling seasons
In fruitful order move;
Sing to the L-rd of harvest
A joyous song of love.
G-d makes the clouds rain goodness,
The deserts bloom and spring,
The hills leap up in gladness,
The valleys laugh and sing.
G-d fills them with his fullness,
All thing with large increase;
He crowns the year with blessing,
With plenty and with peace.
Bring to this sacred altar
The gifts his goodness gave,
The golden sheaves of harvest,
The souls Messiah died to save.
Your hearts lay down before him
When at his feet you fall,
And with your lives adore him
Who gave his life for all.
