The God of harvest praise by Benjamin Milgrove — Lyrics
The God of harvest praise,
In loud thanksgivings, raise
Hand, heart, and voice;
The valleys laugh and sing,
Forests and mountains ring,
The plains their tribute bring,
The streams rejoice.
Bless ye the Lord
And in your harvest song,
Bless ye the Lord.
Yes, bless His Holy Name,
And joyous thanks proclaim
Through all the earth:

About The God of harvest praise
Benjamin Milgrove’s The God of harvest praise is a hymn setting ideal for harvest festivals. The SATB choir sings in English, celebrating the bounty of the season. The text joyfully exclaims that the "valleys laugh and sing" and "forests and mountains ring" in thanks for the harvest. It urges singers to raise "Hand, heart, and voice" in praise, remembering God’s benefits amidst their mirth. The music likely reflects this jubilant and grateful mood, urging a "sweet accord" as the people bring their sheaves along. This is a spirited anthem of thanksgiving.
