[Joh 4:35] Harvest Bells
O Christian! do not falter,
The harvest field is white,
And many souls are sinking
Into eternal night.Refrain
The harvest bells are ringing,
We hear them night and day;
The harvest bells are pealing,
Go work, and watch, and pray;
The harvest bells are pealing,
Go work, watch, pray.O reapers! quickly gather
The precious golden sheaves,
That day and night are falling
Like autumn’s withered leaves.Refrain
So few we find the lab’rers,
The harvest, oh, how great!
Then slumber not, dear Christian,
For soon ’twill be too late.Refrain

The harvest fields are bending
With precious ripened grain;
More reapers now are needed,
Ere Christ comes back again.Refrain
Harvest time! Harvest time!
Precious Gospel seed is sown.
Reapers go! Reapers go!
Jesus, King, must have His own, His loved ones;
Soon He’ll come! Soon He’ll come!
Come and catch away His Bride, His own!
His own! His own!The call must now be heeded,
We cannot say Him nay;
Since He has died to save them,
We must go forth today.Refrain
We’ll come again rejoicing,
A reaper’s crown to gain;
The Harvest Home is coming,
When Christ comes back again.Refrain

[Joh 4:35] Reapers Are Needed
Hark to the music resounding,
Reapers are needed today;
Fields are all white, to the harvest
Let us be up and away!
Ever the Master is calling,
Hasten! the shadows are falling;
On to the harvest field,
Gather the golden yield,
Precious sheaves.Refrain
Hark! hark! comes the song,
On! on! join the throng;
Forth with joyful, loving heart,
Bravely do your part;
Hark! hark! rings the call;
Haste! haste! one and all;
On where the harvest stands,
Waiting for willing hands
Souls to win.Forward with hearts full of gladness,
Reapers, I pray you, make haste;
Grain there is ready and waiting,
If not soon gathered, will waste;
Then let us hear you replying,
Labor with courage undying,
Send up a word of cheer,
Tell of the rest so near,
Rest at home.Refrain
Hark to the song they are singing!
See, they have treasures so rare;
Soon will the harvest be ended,
Haste, then, their trophies to share.
Let no one be idly dreaming,
Look! look! the harvest is gleaming,
Join ye the reaping band,
Lend them a helping hand,
Ere the night.Refrain

Bread of the world, in mercy broken,
Wine of the soul, in mercy shed,

That by Thy grace our souls are fed.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Joh 6:32] Here At Thy Table, Lord
Here at Thy table, Lord, this sacred hour,
O let us feel Thee near, in loving power,
Calling our thoughts away from self and sin
As to Thy banquet hall we enter in.Sit at the feast, dear Lord, break Thou the bread;
Fill Thou the cup that brings life to the dead;
That we may find in Thee pardon and peace,
And from all bondage win a full release.So shall our life of faith be full, be sweet;
And we shall find our strength for each day meet;
Fed by Thy living bread, all hunger past,
We shall be satisfied, and saved at last.Come then, O holy Christ, feed us, we pray;
Touch with Thy piercèd hand each common day;
Making this earthly life full of Thy grace,
Till in the home of heaven we find our place.Play source: Cyberhymnal

Since my soul is saved and sanctified,
Feasting, I’m feasting,
In this land of Canaan I’ll abide,
Feasting with my Lord.Refrain
Feasting, I am feasting,

Feasting with my Lord.Refrain
Often there are only just we two,
Feasting, I’m feasting,
Then He tells me what He’d have me do,
Feasting with my Lord.Refrain
If perchance the cupboard’s scarce of bread,
Feasting, I’m feasting,
On the hidden manna I am fed,

Zion, to Thy Savior singing,
To thy Prince and Shepherd bringing,
Sweetest hymns of love and praise,
Thou wilt never reach the measure
Of His worth, by all the treasure
Of thy most ecstatic lays.Of all wonders that can thrill thee,
And, with adoration fill thee,
What than this can greater be,
That Himself to thee He giveth?
He that eateth ever liveth,
For the Bread of Life is He.Fill thy lips to overflowing
With sweet praise, His mercy showing
Who this heav’nly table spread:
On this day so glad and holy,
To each longing spirit lowly
Giveth He the living Bread.Here the King hath spread His table,
Whereon eyes of faith are able
Christ our Passover to trace:
Shadows of the law are going,
Light and life and truth inflowing,
Night to day is giving place.Lo, this angels’ food descending
Heavenly love is hither sending,
Hungry lips on earth to feed:
So the paschal lamb was given,
So the manna came from Heaven,
Isaac was His type indeed.O Good Shepherd, Bread life giving,
Us, Thy grace and life receiving,
Feed and shelter evermore;
Thou on earth our weakness guiding,
We in Heav’n with Thee abiding,
With all saints will Thee adore.Play source: Cyberhymnal

[Joh 8:12] Eternal Beam Of Light Divine
Eternal Beam of light divine,
Fountain of unexhausted love,
In Whom the Father’s glories shine
Through earth beneath, and Heaven above;Jesu, the weary wanderer’s rest,
Give me Thy easy yoke to bear,
With steadfast patience arm my breast,
With spotless love, and lowly fear.Thankful I take the cup from Thee,
Prepared and mingled by Thy skill,
Though bitter to the taste it be,
Powerful the wounded soul to heal.Be Thou, O Rock of ages, nigh!
So shall each murmuring thought be gone,
And grief, and fear, and care, shall fly,
As clouds before the mid-day sun.Speak to my warring passions, “Peace!”
Say to my trembling heart, “Be still!”
Thy power my strength and fortress is,
For all things serve Thy sovereign will.O death! where is thy sting? Where now
Thy boasted victory, O grave?
Who shall contend with God? or who
Can hurt whom God delights to save?Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Keeping watch on the mountain height,
Came a vision of Holy Grail
And a voice through the waiting night:
Follow, follow, follow the gleam;
Banners unfurled o’er all the world;
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Of the chalice that is the Grail.And we who would serve the King,
And loyally Him obey,
In the consecrate silence know
That the challenge still holds today,
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Standards of worth o’er all the earth;
Follow, follow, follow the gleam
Of the Light that shall bring the dawn.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

The old Judean flocks aglow keep watch within the skies
An icy stillness closer holds the pulses of the breathless night,

The lordliest bending, hail the living light of Bethlehem,
Glad Bethlehem’s living light, the holy Christmas light,

Light of the world! Faint were our weary feet
With wand’ring far;
But Thou didst come, our lonely heart to greet,
Our Morning Star;
And Thou didst bid us lift our gaze on high
And see the glory of the glowing sky.In days long past we missed our homeward way,
We could not see;
Blind were our eyes, our feet were bound to stray,
How blind to Thee!
But Thou didst pity, Lord, our gloomy plight,
And Thou didst touch our eyes and give them sight.Where is death’s sting, where, grave, thy victory?
Where all the pain,
Now that thy King the veil that hung o’er thee
Hath rent in twain?

To light and love, in Thine eternal home.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

When dreams or mists beguile our sight,

To slake the thirst of those that faint,

Shed Thou Thy calm on stormiest wave;

[Joh 20:27] How Oft, O Lord, Thy Face Hath Shone
How oft, O Lord, Thy face hath shone
On doubting souls whose wills were true!
Thou Christ of Cephas and of John,
Thou art the Christ of Thomas, too.He loved Thee well, and calmly said
“Come, let us go, and die with Him”;
Yet when Thine Easter news was spread,
’Mid all its light his eyes were dim.His brethren’s word he would not take
But craved to touch those hands of Thine:
The bruisèd reed Thou didst not break;
He saw, and hailed his Lord divine.He saw Thee ris’n; at once he rose
To full belief’s unclouded height;
And still through his confession flows
To Christian souls Thy life and light.O Savior, make Thy presence known
To all who doubt Thy Word and Thee;
And teach them in that Word alone
To find the truth that sets them free.And we who know how true Thou art,
And Thee as God and Lord adore,
Give us, we pray, a loyal heart,
To trust and love Thee more and more.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

To own Thee God and Lord,
And from this hour of darkness draw
Faith in the incarnate Word.And while that wondrous record now
Of unbelief we hear,

In self-distrusting fear.And grant that we may never dare
Thy loving heart to grieve,

Who see not, yet believe.Play source: Cyberhymnal

Upon the cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace.And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony;
E’en death itself; and all for man
Who was Thine enemy.Then why, O blessèd Jesus Christ
Should I not love Thee well?

Nor of escaping hell.Not with the hope of gaining aught,
Nor seeking a reward,

Who on the cruel cross for me hast borne
The nails, the spear, and man’s unpitying scorn.No thought can fathom and no tongue express

Thy death, O Lamb of God the undefiled;
And all for me, Thy wayward sinful child.How can I choose but love Thee, God’s dear Son,
O Jesus, loveliest, and most loving One!
Were there no Heaven to gain, no Hell to flee,

[Joh 21:15] She Loved Her Savior
She loved her Savior, and to Him
Her costliest present brought;
To crown His head, or grace His Name,
No gift too rare she thought.And though the prudent worldling frowned,
And thought the poor bereft;
Christ’s humble friend sweet comfort found,
For He approved the gift.The poor are always with us here,
’Tis our great Father’s plan
That mutual wants and mutual care
May bind us man to man.So let the Savior be adored,
And not the poor despised,
Give to the hungry from your hoard,
But all, give all to Christ.Go, clothe the naked, lead the blind,
Give to the weary rest;
For sorrow’s children comfort find,
And help for all distressed.But give to Christ alone Thy heart,
Thy faith, Thy love supreme,
Then for His sake Thine alms impart,
And so give all to Him.Play source: Cyberhymnal
