We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing;
He chastens and hastens his will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing:
Sing praises to his name; he forgets not his own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Whose kingdom calls all to the love which endures.
So from the beginning the fight we were winning:
You, Lord, were at our side; all glory be yours!

We all do extol you our leader triumphant,
And pray that you still our defender will be.
Let your congregation escape tribulation:
Your name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.
I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

I will extol you, O my God and King,
and I will bless your name forever and ever.
Every day will I bless you,
and I will praise your name forever and ever.
I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

The LORD is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
The LORD is good to all
and compassionate toward all his works.
I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD,
and let your faithful ones bless you.
Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might.
I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

The LORD is faithful in all his words
and holy in all his works.
The LORD lifts up all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.
I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

1. We do not live on bread alone,
but on every word from the mouth of God.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

2. God's own Word came and lived here among us,
so all who believe might be the children of God.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

3. Speak, O Lord, your servant is list'ning:
you have the words of everlasting life.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest.

We proclaim your death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection until you come again.

Amen, amen, amen.

Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: grant us peace.

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, does 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 God's 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 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 God's garner evermore.

4. Even so, Lord, quickly come
To your final harvest-home;
Gather all your people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, for ever purified,
In your presence to abide:
Come, with all your angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest-home.

1. Praise and thanksgiving,
Father, we offer,
For all things living,
All that is good.
Harvest of sown fields,
Fruits of the factory,
Fish from the blown seas,
Metals and wood.

2. Lord, bless the labor
We bring to serve you,
That with our neighbor
All shall be fed.
Sowing or tilling,
As we work with you,
Harvesting, milling,
For daily bread.

3. Father, providing
Food for your children,
Your wisdom guiding,
Teach us to share.
One with another,
Sisters and brothers,
So that all others
May know your care.

4. Then will your blessing
Reach every person,
Freely confessing
Your precious love.
Where you are reigning
No one will hunger,
Your love sustaining,
Fruitful the land.
