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
