HYMN 850
D.S.M (FE 891)
Tune: Emi Olorun mi
1. HOSTS of heav'nly Angels
The divine heav‘nly hosts
The host of the Apostles Saints
The host of heav‘nly beings
All in heaven above
Praise Thee at noon and night
Almighty God the Trinity
Omnipotent Most High.
2. Converging Band by Band
Before Thee our Father
To offer unto Thee our thanks
Coupled with our off'rings
Harvest offerings we brought
To the God of harvest
Oh God we plead descend and fill
This house with Thine Glory.
3. Amidst countless horrors
Encircling us about
Amidst unstable earthly tides
In harvest ages past
To Thee we offer thanks
For sparing all our lives
To this our harvest day oh Lord
We glorify Thy name.
4. When Noah’s offering he brought
Rainbow, Thou manifest
As sign that no flood will ever
Submerge the earth again
Rainbow please manifest
For the sake of our Christ
May sorrow and grief and anguish
Nay our lot ever be.
5. The widow then of old
Just little offered she
Abundant blessings she received
For the least offered she
Jesus today we plead
Pour Thy blessings on us
All our offering we plead receive
E‘en though substandard be.
6. We plead Thee oh our God
Our hearts we plead receive
Unwholesome heart brought we to Thee
Wholly and filthy though
With Thine blood Jesus cleanse
The guilty stains away
May all our hearts an offering be
Of thanksgiving to Thee. Amen
