Ground Of Our Lives

Tune: Hereford

('O thou who camest from above')

Hosea 10 v.12-13

*******

You have ploughed wickedness, and you

Have reaped the same, 'tis so, 'tis true

And you have eaten fruit of lies

This is certain with no denies

Because you trust in your own way

And in own strength rely today

Sow to yourselves in righteousness

And the Lord God will then you bless

Reap in mercy, loving-kindness

Follow Him now in faithfulness

Break up your fallow ground. untilled

That it may a fine harvest yield

For it is time to seek the Lord

Until He come, and too His word

Is He will come and rain upon

You righteousness, e'en to each one
