Harvest Thoughts

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....
