  1. (continued from previous page)
    When the harvest work began they said:-
    Lord grant that the greatest harvest that we came on earth to save.
    May be golden and ripe for the reaping
    'Ere we go to the lonely grave.
    That our souls in the last dread Autumn
    May be clean as the hill and the meadow
    When we bring life's grain to the haggard
    And offer it all to Thee.

    Prayers to be said at any time:
    The hands of Christ seem very frail. For they were broken by a nail
    But only they reach heaven at last
    Whom these frail broken hands hold fast.
