Come, ye thankful people come by George J. Elvey — Lyrics
Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvesthome;
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 harvesthome.

About Come, ye thankful people come
This hymn is ideal for harvest festivals, its familiar words celebrating the bounty of the harvest and giving thanks to God. The composer, George J. Elvey, sets this well-known text in an SATB arrangement that is both accessible and uplifting. The music follows the text closely, reflecting the joy of gathering in the crops and the spiritual lesson of nurturing good within the world. It provides a grand yet straightforward anthem for Thanksgiving services or any occasion where gratitude for God's provision is the theme. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies to support the message of praise and thankfulness.
