HYMN 188. The Harvest is the end of the World.
Harvest of Joy.
1
THe Harvest-day will soon be here,
A blessed day 'twill be
To all those Souls who are sincere,
For Jesus they shall see.
2
Thou send'st thy glorious Rays on us,
And Dews, our Souls to chear;
But e're long we with open Eyes
The Vision shall have clear.
3
Most sweet reviving Acts of Grace
Are those we feel of thine,
Whilst we behold thy glorious Face,
Yet stronger Beams will shine,
4
To comfort and rejoyce each heart
To all eternity;
From thee, O Lord, we ne're shall start,
But in thy Garner lye;
5
Or rather in thy precious Arms
We being ripened,
Shall housed be with lasting Charms
Of Glory on our Head.
6
No sorrow shall us then annoy,
Nor fears cause inward pain;
Nor sin nor Satan spoyl our joy,
Nor filth our glory stain.

We shall not then, as now, be vext
With Satan, World, and Sin;
Nor with base Hearts be more perplext
When Heaven has took us in.
