PRAISE, O praise the Lord of harvest— Providence and Love! Praise Him in His earthly temples, And above!
Praise Him, every thankful mortal, By His goodness fed, Whose rich mercy daily gives us Daily bread.
Quickened unto life eternal, Bear we heavenly fruit; Lest, if barren, He reject us, Branch and root.
Speed, O speed that glorious harvest Of the souls of men, When Christ’s members, here long-scattered, Meet again.
Glory to the Lord of harvest, Holy Three in One! To the Father, Son, and Spirit, Praise be done!
James Hamilton, 1819-96
