Tune: Wir Pflugen
('We plough the fields and scatter')
Hosea 10 v.11-13 and 6 v.1-3
************
Israel be as an heifer
Yet did not follow sure
The Lord, but was by Him taught
In His love He them sought
Israel did tread out the corn
Until reached harvest's morn
The Lord put on them His yoke
They were to Him bespoke
Chorus
Sow to yourselves now in
Righteousness, and not sin
And reap in mercy and kindness
With hearts of frutifulness
Break up now your fallow ground
No untilled clods be found
For 'tis time to seek the Lord
The promise of His word
That He shall come, rain upon
You righteousness, each one
For you have plowed wickedness
And reaped your sins, no less - Chorus
Come, let us to the Lord turn
Of His will and ways learn
Then shall we, if we follow
The Lord we shall Him know
He shall come as the morning
Of each day's new dawning
As early and latter rains
To water planted grains - Chorus

Good one O
Thank you A.
Welcome O.
Lovely Orchi this one felt very church like
Thank you SB.
You are very welcome Orchi
Beautiful work.
Thank you T.
Orchi, sincerely, this is a lovely hymn setting. But in the Gluggerverse, “Harvest of Hearts” means Popeyeus is standing in a cornfield at midnight with a sickle, Obi-Wan is yelling “THIS IS NOT WHAT HOSEA MEANT,” and Ol’ Tomás has barricaded himself inside the vestry. Glug, glug! 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. Oohh, they're a riot, that lot, with their antics! lol.
