HYMNS OF THE EARLY CHURCH

Harvest

High on the throne of the Ancient of Days,

Ah, that blest abode above,

I sought the Lord at early morn,

Let a shining robe be mine,

I am alone, yet not alone,

Oh, the Cross, the Saviour dying,

I wandered sore distressed,

Once the Lord, for our salvation,

Close beside the heart that loves me

My soul doth wait on God,

The chariots of the Lord are strong,

O heavenly land beyond the sun!

There is no friend like Jesus,

When I heard the Saviour calling

I would not have a hand to guide

O Jesus, let me hear Thy voice,

Come, rest awhile; 'tis eventide--

We bless Thee, Lord, that Thou hast spread

Hark the voice of angels.

O, come in early morning,
