Sowing And Reaping

orchidee



Tune: Wir Pflugen

('We plough the fields and scatter')

1 Corinthians 9 v.6-11

********

God is able to make all

Grace abound to you, call

On Him, that you then always

Having through all your days

All sufficiency in all

Things, so abound, not fall

To every good work resourced

Enough, not strained nor forced

 

Chorus

Sparse sowing, sparse reaping

But if you in each thing

Sow generous, bountifully

Ample reaping shall be

 

As it is written, God He

Has dispersed abroad, see

He has given to the poot

He righteous remains sure

Now He that supplies seed to

The sower, so give too

Bred for food, and multiply

Seed sown, His presence nigh - Chorus

 

And that he too may increase

Fruits of rightness and peace

So you enriched in all things

Liberally shares, each brings

Their offerings, which causes

Praise, thanks to God no less

And sharing with fellow-men

We shall know blessings then - Chorus

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem - Verses in 7.6.7.6. 7.6.7.6. Chorus in 6.6.8.4. though last line of Chorus allows for 6 syllables to be fitted in, as I've done. I've always seen St Paul as fair and common-sense in giving - not greedy or demanding of people.

        We usually reap what we sow, not always is the same medium or way but in one way or another.
