Can\'t let Harvest season go by completely
Without a few thoughts here
Though I can\'t seem to put pen to paper much just now
To do more hymn-poems
Hymn - We plough the fields and scatter
Yet - remember this....
\'Plough those fields\' first
Then \'scatter the good seed on the land\'
Don\'t scatter first, then plough
Or you\'ll churn up all the seeds. Doh!
Hymn: To thee O Lord, our hearts we raise
Hope your crop is as those golden sheaves
Where the valleys are so full of corn
That they appear as if \'even they are singing\'
\"It\'ll be better for ears of corn to sing
Than for me to sing,\" you reply?!
Hymn - Come, ye thankful people, come
So come, be thankful to the Lord
We haven\'t got anything
Apart from what He gives us
Which is all things
\'All the world is God\'s own field
Fruit unto His praise to yield\'
A physical harvest of crops
A spiritual harvest of souls
A festival to celebrate
I may do a hymn-poem or two yet
Harvest season seems to run any time
Throughout September and October
Meanwhile, here\'s one the harvest hymns....
