Come, Ye Thankful People Come

Come, Ye Thankful People Come
This hymn comes from England with words by Henry Alford (1844), a minister, and the music (St. George’s Windsor) by George J. Elvey (1856).
This energetic and syncopated arrangement is by Tae Sook Kang, an organist from Korea.
The organ is a Viscount Cantorum Plus.
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 as praise to God we yield; wheat and tares together sown are to 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 the harvest home; from the field shall in that day all offenses purge away, giving angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast; but the fruitful ears to store in the 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 presence to abide; come, with all thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home.
