Thanks to Don, Dean and Linda for this lovely rendition of "Come Ye Thankful People Come". ___________________________________________________________ Come Ye Thankful People Come Alford, Public Domain - CCLI Song # 2647504... 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 Even so Lord quickly come To 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

Always a treat to hear our GEMS ladies singing His praises!

Words: Public Domain - CCLI Song # 25321 Joyful joyful we adore Thee God of glory Lord of love Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee Opening to the sun above Melt the clouds of sin and sadness Drive the dark of doubt away Giver of immortal gladness Fill us with the light of day All Thy works with joy surround Thee Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays Stars and angels sing around Thee Center of unbroken praise Field and forest vale and mountain Flowery meadow flashing sea Chanting bird and flowing fountain Call us to rejoice in Thee Thou art giving and forgiving Ever blessing ever blest Wellspring of the joy of living Ocean depth of happy rest Thou our Father Christ our Brother All who live in love are Thine Teach us how to love each other Lift us to the joy divine Mortals join the mighty chorus Which the morning stars began Father love is reigning o'er us Brother love binds man to man Ever singing march we onward Victors in the midst of strife Joyful music lifts us sunward In the triumph song of life

Thanks to Abi and Faith for this lovely duet of "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" ___________________________________________________________ What A Friend We Have In Jesus... Publin Domain - CCLI Song # 27714 What a friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer O what peace we often forfeit O what needless pain we bear All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer Have we trials and temptations Is there trouble anywhere We should never be discouraged Take it to the Lord in prayer Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share Jesus knows our every weakness Take it to the Lord in prayer Are we weak and heavy laden Cumbered with a load of care Precious Savior still our refuge Take it to the Lord in prayer Do thy friends despise forsake thee Take it to the Lord in prayer In His arms He'll take and shield thee Thou wilt find a solace there Blessed Savior Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear May we ever Lord be bringing All to Thee in earnest prayer Soon in glory bright unclouded There will be no need for prayer Rapture praise and endless worship Will be our sweet portion there
