Come Ye Thankful People Come Lyrics & Chords

By Henry Alford & George J. Elvey

(D)Come, ye thankful (G)people, (D)come, 
raise the song of (G)harvest (D)home; 
all is (G)safely (A)gathered (D)in, 
ere the winter (E)storms (A)begin. 
God our Maker (D)doth provide 
for our wants to (G)be supplied; 
(B)come to (Em)God's own (A)temple, (D)come, 
(G)raise the (D)song of (A)harvest (D)home. 

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. 

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. 

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.
