185. "COME FORTH, AND BRING YOUR GARLANDS." To be sung in unison. H. KOTZSCHMAR. I. Come forth, and bring your gar - lands! Come forth with praise and song! #2 En-wreath the al · tars with your flow'rs, And to the tem-ples throng! For 't is the glorious summer, A time for glad-some praise, When "Fore- most in peace, and first in war, First in our hearts," our Wash-ing-ton! loyal sons of loyal sires Pour'd out their blood to save the State. And Work the hard-y reap-ers, bind-ing Lord-ly sheaves of gold-en corn. A-MEN. That the reap-ers' hur-ried foot-steps Rude-ly crush'd up on the earth. 3 Gleaners we in life's great harvest; 4 Every dark and hidden corner Of the boundless harvest-field, 5 And, when earthly days are ended, We shall wake to share the glory Of our Father's "Harvest Home." AMEN. |
