COME, YE THANKFUL PEOPLE COME
Public Domain, Arr. by Nick Alexander
1. Come, ye thankful people come
Raise the song of harvest home
All are 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
3. For the Lord, our God shall come
And shall take His harvest home
From His field, shall in that day
All offenses purge away
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
2. All the world is God’s own field
Fruit unto His praise to yield
Grant O harvest Lord that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be
4. Even so, Lord quickly come
To Your final harvest home
Gather all Your people in
Free from sorrow, free from sin
There, forever purified
In Your presence to abide
Come with all Your angels come
Raise the glorious harvest home.
2. All the world is God’s own field
Fruit unto His 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
Grant O harvest Lord that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be
3. Lord, our God, one day You’ll come
And You’ll take Your harvest home
From Your field, You’ll in that day
All offenses purge away
Give Your angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast
But the fruitful ears You’ll store
In Your garner evermore.
CHILDREN OF THE KING
by Robert Filoramo, Jr.
O Lord we are Your children washed clean and set free
Jesus is our brother, we’re children of the King
And so we raise our hands to You
as we dance around and sing
’coz Dad You are wonderful,
You’re the great and mighty King.
You’re the Alpha, the Omega,
the First and the Last
You’re the One who made the universe.
But best of all, You’re our Dad.

WE DELIGHT IN YOU LORD
Unknown
We delight in You, Lord, with all our mind
With all our heart and our soul [2x]
And as we wait upon You, Lord, we grow stronger [3x]
Everyday, everyday, everyday.
EXALTED IN GLORY (PSALM 8)
Nick Alexander
O Lord, Our Lord, How majestic is Your Name
In all the earth, How majestic is Your Name
O Lord, our Lord, You are exalted in glory
Above the heavens, and beyond the earth
You are exalted in glory
Out of the mouths of babes and infants
You have ordained praise. [repeat]
When I behold Your heavens
The work of Your fingers
I can’t comprehend how You can behold man
How You can give attention to Him
You give to Him dominion
Over all Your creation
And even now, man is crowned
With Your great adulation.

LEAD KINDLY LIGHT
by Blessed John Henry Newman
Lead kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom
Lead thou me on.
The night is dark, and I am far from home
Lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene, one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on.
I loved to choose and see my path but now
Lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day and spite of fears.
Pride ruled my will; remember not past years.
So long Thy pow’r hath blest me sure it still
Will lead me on.
O’er moor and fen, o’er cragg and torrent till
The night is gone.
And with the morn, those angel faces smile.
Which I have loved, long since and lost awhile.
NOT MY WILL
Author unknown
Not my will, but Yours be done
But let the fullness of the Son
Rule within this life that I have offered Thee.
Until ev’rything I do
Becomes the thing that pleases You
Abba Father, I would be Your son indeed.
Not our will, but Yours be done
O let the fullness of the Son
Rule within our lives that we have offered Thee.
Lord, let everything we do
Be only that which pleases You.
Abba Father, let us be, Your sons indeed.
