  1. Come, ye thankful people, come,
    Raise the song of harvest home;
    All is safely gathered in,
    Ere the winter storms begin;
    God our Maker doth provide
    For our wants 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,
    Fruit unto His praise to yield;
    Wheat and tares 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.
  3. For the Lord our God shall come,
    And shall take His harvest home;
    From His field shall in that day
    All offenses purge away;
    Give His angels charge at last
    In the fire the tares to cast;
    But the fruitful ears to store
    In His garner evermore.
  4. Even so, Lord, quickly come,
    Bring Thy final harvest home;
    Gather Thou Thy people in,
    Free from sorrow, free from sin,
    There, forever purified,
    In Thy garner to abide;
    Come, with all Thine angels come,
    Raise the glorious harvest home.
