7.6.7.6.D. - Trochaic Tunes1.
Lord of the living harvest
That whitens o’er the plain,
Where angels soon shall gather
Their sheaves of golden grain,
Accept these hands to labor,
These hearts to trust and love,
And deign with them to hasten
Thy kingdom from above.
2.
As laborers in Thy vineyard,
Lord, send them out to be
Content to bear the burden
Of weary days for Thee.
To ask no other wages
When Thou shalt call them home
But to have shared the travail
Which makes Thy kingdom come.
3.
Be with them, God the Father;
Be with them, God the Son;
And God the Holy Spirit,
Most blessed Three in One.
Make them a royal priesthood
Thee rightly to adore
And fill them with Thy fullness
Both now and evermore.
4.
O come, Thou Holy Spirit
And fill our souls with light
Clothe us in spotless raiment
In linen clean and white
Within Thy sacred temple
Be with us, where we stand
And sanctify Thy people
Throughout this happy land
Amen
