INTRODUCTION
Bass Solo,
Hearken unto this my people.
Stand still and consider the won-
drous works of God, Who visitest the
earth and waterest it, and greatly en-
richest it by the waters of God.
Chorus Quortette-
Lord of the harvest, Thee we hail.
Thine ancient promise doth not fail.
The varying seasons haste their
round, with goodness all our days are
crowned: Our thanks we pay this holy
day, oh, let our hearts in tune be
found.
Lord Of the harvest, all is thine:
The rains that fall, the suns that
ground, the skill that makes our
fruits abound: New every year thy
gifts appear, New praises from our
lips shall sound.
Tenor Recitation and Air.
Lift up your eyes and look at the
fields, for they are white already to
harvest. He that reapeth receiveth
wages, and gathereth fruit unto life
eternal.
The harvest truly is great but the
laborers are few. Pray ye therefore
the Lord of the harvest that He
would send forth laborers into His
harvest.
Chorus
Come, labor on, who darcs stand
idle on the harvest plain, while all
around him waves the golden grain,
and to each servant doth the Master
say, "Go, Work Today"
Soprano Solo,
= The field is the world, the Good
Seed are the children of the Kingdom.
Soprano and Cont1uHo Duet----
Let them both grow together until
the harvest, and in the time Of har-
vest I will say unto the reaper,
Gather We together first the tares and
bind them in bundles to burn them
but gather the wheat into My barn.
Chorit$--
This is the field the world below, in
which the. reapcrs came to SOW; Jesus,
the wheat; Satan, the tares, for so
the word of God declares, for soon the
reaping time will come, and angels
shout the Harvest home.
Soprano Solo
Most awful truth and is it so?
Must all the world that harvest know?
Is every major wheat or tare?
Then for that Harvest, O prepare.
Chorus
The Lord shall roar out Of Zion,
and utter his voice from Jerusalem,
and the Heavens and the earth shall
shake. But the Lord shall be the
Hope Of His People and the strength
of Israel.
Buss Recitation-
And I looked, and behold a white
cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like
unto the Son Of Man, having on His
head q golden crown and in His hand
sharp sickle. And another angel
came out of the temple crying with a
loud voice to Him that sat on a cloud,
"Thrust in Thy sickle and reap, for
the harvest of the earth is ripe.
Chorus
their Fathers Kingdom then shall
there: He that hath ears now let him
hear!
sE PASTORALE
Co1tralto Recitation and Air.
AS a shepherd seeketh out his
flock in the day that he is among his
sheep that are scattered, so will I
seek out my sheep, and will deliver
them out Of. all places whittier they
have been scattered in the cloudy and
dark day. r'..
I will feed my flock and I will cause
them to lie down, said the Lord God.
I will seek that which was lost, and
bring again that which was driven
away, and will bind up that which
was broken, and will strengthen that
which was sick. '...
Chorus. 49,
Gird on Thy .'conquering sword,
ascend Thy shining car, and march,
Almighty God, to wage Thy Holy
War. Before His wheels in glad sur
prise, Ye valleys rise and sink. Ye
hills, Fair truth and smiling love, and
injured Righteousness, under Thy
redress. Thou in their cause shall
pense Thy laws ~
Before Thine awful face, millions
Of foes shall fall the captives of Thy
Grace, that Grace which conquers all,
the world shall know, great King Of
Kings, what wondrous things Thine
arm can do. ~ 4
Soprano Solo
And the Word was made flesh and
dwelt among us, and we beheld His
Glory, as Of the Only Begotten Of the
Father, full of Grace and Truth, and
of His fullness have we all received,
and Grace for Grace.
That was the true Light, that light
eth every man that cometh into the
world.
Qudrtette-
Then shall the Righteous shine
forth as the sun, in the Kingdom of
their Father: Joy on their heads shall
be forever lasting. and all sorrow and
