Tune: St Stephen
(\'In Christ there is no east or west\')
Luke 13 v.18-19
*********
The kingdom of God it here be
Like grain of mustard, see
Which one took, cast into the ground
Though it smallest seed found
It grew in garden, to great tree
Birds did lodge in it, see
Nested in its branches, the strong
There they made joyful song
If we little seem, as that seed
Help us, Lord, your words heed
From small starts we may grow apace
Inspired by your good grace
Potential, with power to grow
Valued to you we know
Become great plant, and sheltering
Others, them pastoring
