Harvest Home 03:33
Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home; all is 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. 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.

For all the blessings of the year, For all the friends we hold so dear, For peace on earth, both far and near, We thank Thee, Lord. For life and health, those common things, Which every day and hour brings, For home, where our affection clings, We thank Thee, Lord. For love of Thine, which never tires, Which all our better thought inspires, And warms our lives with heavenly fires, We thank Thee, Lord.

about

"Harvest Home" (also titled "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come") is a hymn we sing at my church around Thanksgiving—harvest time. But it's a good song for anytime. The lyrics are beautiful: it starts as a thanksgiving hymn for a full harvest, then becomes a prayer to the Lord for another kind of harvest: a harvest of souls. We must understand that God alone can produce fruit in his field. The Lord of the harvest is coming soon, may we be a thanksgiving feast fit for him.

The guitar I'm using in the recording is my father's classical. He's had it since I was little and it still plays beautifully! My brother-in-law Samuel is responsible for the beautiful synth sounds. Also, the artwork is by my wife, Abi. She's an amazing artist.​

"Harvest Home" is a song from my upcoming full-length album CAUGHT UP IN CLOUDS.
