Christ Taught Us of a Farmer

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 13:1-13 First Line: Christ taught us of a farmer who went out sowing seeds Lyrics: Christ taught us of a farmer who went out sowing seeds. A few had trouble growing among the rocks and weeds. But others grew till harvest in soil that was so good. O God, you sow the gospel: The seed is your own word. You sowed your word of love here so many years ago.* Your message found a welcome; your word began to grow. By grace, this church was built here by saints who followed you. The seed took root and flourished: we hear and follow, too. We thank you for each member who lives in loving ways, For those who seek to serve you without expecting praise. For hearts and songs uplifted, for work and sacrifice. The seed you planted grows here: we grow in Jesus Christ. In times of joy we praise you, in struggling times we search, And always we are learning to be your faithful church. Your Spirit gives us vision, and hearts and lives made new. Your harvest is for sharing: sent out, we work for you. *Original wording was “You sowed your word of love here one hundred years ago.” Topics: Anniversary, Church; Jesus Christ Teachings Used With Tune: AURELIA

Christ, You Walked Among the Grain Fields

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Matthew 13:1-23 First Line: Christ, you walked among the grain fields, Finding lessons all around Lyrics: Christ, you walked among the grain fields, Finding lessons all around: “Like the harvest that the earth yields, So God’s kingdom will abound.” “See! A sower goes out planting; Some seed grows a hundredfold.” Here on earth you gave us heaven In the stories that you told. Lord, you shared God’s kingdom-bounty, Yet you know our pain and need. Some are poor in lands of plenty, Often hurt by others’ greed. Some, possessed by their possessions, Look for more to buy and keep; Others long for simpler blessings: “Let my hungry children eat.” Lord, you send us out to labor, To pass on the love you give; City friend and country neighbor Work as one so all may live. Lending land and tools and vision, Sharing costs and planting seed— Work we love becomes our mission As we serve your world in need. May our harvest celebration Build new food security; As we care for your creation, May we find community. By your Holy Spirit bless us And may what we grow increase Till the whole world sees new glimpses Of your joyful banquet feast. Topics: Jesus Christ Teachings; Justice Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING
