Author: Patricia Hunt Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #702 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Covenant Lyrics: 1 Like a tiny seed of mustard,
stored with life, invisibly,
grows and grows, each day increasing
and becomes a mighty tree;
2 like the leaven in the mixture
swells inside while hid from view,
living, rising and transforming
simple grain to bread anew;
3 like the priceless treasure,
hidden in a field which folk pass by;
one man finds it, knows its value,
sells his all that field to buy;
4 like the merchant, fine pearls seeking,
searches, yearning for the best;
finds it, clasps it, claims and buys it,
selling all that he possessed.
5 Like all these is God's great kingdom,
growing from the smallest part;
rising, swelling, coming, dwelling,
in each new believer's heart. Scripture: Matthew 13:31-46 Languages: English Tune Title: HJERTETS ONSKE
