Harvest of Hearts

orchidee



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
