Henry Alford (1810-1871) served several British Anglican parishes as priest, before becoming Dean of Canterbury. He wrote poetry and hymns, and also translated works from Greek.
His words are partnered with a tune from George Job Elvey (1816-1893). He was a chorister of Canterbury Cathedral and New College, Oxford, before studying music at the Royal Academy. He served as organist of St George's Chapel, Windsor, for 47 years.
This popular harvest festival hymn appears in many hymn books; this is a simple arrangement of melody and chords, with the chord-based musician in mind.
Key: G major
