Wheat And Weeds

Harvest Hymn by John Betjeman.

We spray the fields and scatter
The poison on the ground
So that no wicked wild flowers
Upon our farm be found.
We like whatever helps us
To line our purse with pence;
The twenty-four-hour broiler-house
And neat electric fence.

All concrete sheds around us
And Jaguars in the yard,
The telly lounge and deep-freeze
Are ours from working hard.

We fire the fields for harvest,
The hedges swell the flame,
The oak trees and the cottages
From which our fathers came.
We give no compensation,
The earth is ours today,
And if we lose on arable,
The bungalows will pay.

All concrete sheds around us
And Jaguars in the yard
The telly lounge and deep freeze
Are ours from working hard.

Incline your ear, hear my prayer clear
Show me your marvellous mercy
Your loving-kindness unto me\"

Beautiful Hymn Orchidee.

Really captures the spirit of David pleas

The pause of the last line in first verse I read it as \'trust you with me\'. That had a powerful
Feeling of true faith and safety in God

\'Hide me \'neath show of your wings
So then safe, my soul to you sings\'

I think this lines encapsulates perfectly, the whole point of having faith and choosing to believe and take comfort-in - something/anything, that exists beyond the validity of our physical or logical senses,
wonderful

ANGELA HERE - Thanks for sharing an excellent HYMN & A Wonderful True Story as are all in the BIBLE including the GENESIS account of the Creation of Man - AMEN !
The true account of the ALABASTER BOX teaches US all many lessons ! In their CREATION of Planet Earth - as a *Living Planet* - the TRINITY gave us their very very best (think of *Life on Mars*) so we should always give of our best back to the GODHEAD. The Anglican Cathedral in Liverpoon in Local Red Sandstone is a case in POINT ! We have an origional Painting of it on our Dining Room Wall. Church Jumble Sales indicate we are only prepared to *Give Our Rags to God*. We TITHE our Money for the Lords Work ! Does you Church teach Tithing ?

Blessings & Joy to You & Your Devout DOG FIDO
Spirit Love Angela - Brain & El Gato Ahumido 💛💛💛

Good Morning Uncle Steve - Angela here (First Clinic @ 11am) Great Hymn & Bible Passage to start a busy DAY. The Hymn was one of the eight the Blessed Theresa May chose for Desert Island Discs ! Methinks we have replaced a Saint with a Charletan ! Love the passage you experience all the *TENSION of the CROSS* when you visit Jerusalem !

CHIRST has once sufered for our SINS
The Just for the Unjust
That HE might bring us back again to GOD ~ AMEN

Blessings to You & Saint Fido ~ Love

ANGELA HERE ~ Good Monday Uncle Steve thanks for an exce\\llent HYMN to start the Day & bring us closer to GOD ! Its just what Brian & I needed in these *Days of COVID Stress & Strain* Thanks for the painting & comment thereon. Catholics are geat ones for *Religious Art* My fave is *St JOHN of the CROSS by DALI* Which Scotland bought for £4000 ! The Spanish Government recently offered them £4 millon but knowing its *True Value Spiritually* to the People of Scot,land they refusd to sell ~ AMEN. Religious Art & Legend have their place - BUT - Gods Word the Holy Bible must always reign supreme ! *The most precious BOOK in the WORLD ~ AMEN !*

Blessings & Joy to YOU & Frisky FIDO
