Harvest Hastening

Tune: Wir Pflugen

(\'We plough the fields\')

********

Come, scatter seeds of goodness

That they may others bless

Thankful for gifts spiritual

And blessings physical

We are Christ\'s image-bearers

And humble grace-sharers

Help us Lord to be cheerful

Givers, encourage all

 

Chorus

What you do here unto

The least one, even you

Do it unto the Lord, He said

He gives us daily bread

 

A world, much need and sorrow

Anxious for tomorrow

For if not enough food, drink

They shall be led to think

Where shall we next meal obtain?

How we provisions gains?

Help us Lord, poor, destitute

Not to deny or mute - Chorus

 

Harvest enough for all be

If we jsutly share, see

Forgive our greed, selfishness

For that you will not bless

While poor sit by, injustice

Not of their choice is this

But rich have them exploited

Have not them tended, fed - Chorus

 

We rich by comparisons

To those of poor nations

Yet we pray you kingdom come

And that your will be done

So equity, and fairness

And then too all confess

Your love, compassion, mercy

And grace and liberty - Chorus
