     A joyous anthem of thanksgiving. This anthem is easy on the choir but requires a good accompanist. “There are some really fun, exuberant things going on in the piano, reflective of the gratitude I feel for so many things. I’ve always loved this hymn and it was about time I arranged it.” ~ M Ryan Taylor

The Text:
Come, ye thankful people come;
Raise the song of harvest home.
All is safely gathered in
E’er 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.

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.
Lord of harvest grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.

Raise the song of harvest home.
