Almighty God, Your Word is Cast
Author: John Cawood, 1775-1852 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:3-9 Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, Your Word is cast
Like seed into the ground;
Now let the dew of heav'n descend
And righteous fruits abound.
2 Let not the sly satanic foe
This holy seed remove,
But give it root in ev'ry heart
To bring forth fruits of love.
3 Let not the world's deceitful cares
The rising plant destroy,
But let it yield a hundredfold
The fruits of peace and joy.
4 So when the precious seed is sown,
Life-giving grace bestow
That all whose souls the truth receive
Its saving pow'r may know.

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 731 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:3-8 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home:
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown;
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall in that day
All offenses purge away;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest home;
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There forever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest home.
Amen. Topics: Harvest; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
Author: St Thomas Aquinas, 1227-1274; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866; Edward Caswall 1814-1878 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:4-9 Lyrics: 1 Now, my tongue, the myst'ry telling
of the glorious body sing,
and the blood, all price excelling,
which the Gentiles' Lord and King,
in a virgin's womb once dwelling,
shed for this world's ransoming.
2 Giv'n for us, for us descending
of a virgin to proceed,
he, with us in converse blending,
scattered here the gospel seed,
till his sojourn drew to ending,
which he closed with wondrous deed.
3 At the last great supper lying,
circled by his chosen hand,
meekly with the law complying,
first he finished its command.
Then, immortal food supplying,
gave himself with his own hand.
4 Word made flesh, by word he maketh
very bread his flesh to be;
we in wine, Christ's blood partaketh,
and if senses fail to see,
faith alone the true heart taketh,
to behold the mystery.
5 Therefore we, before him bending,
this great sacrament revere:
types and shadows have their ending,
for the newer rite is here;
faith, our outward sense befriending,
makes our inward vision clear.
6 Glory let us give and blessing
to the Father and the Son,
honour, might and praise addressing,
while eternal ages run;
ever too his love confessing,
who, from both, with both is One. Amen. Topics: Communion; Holy Communion; Year A Easter 3; Year A Lent 1; Year A Proper 10; Year B Epiphany 2; Year B Second Sunday Before Lent; Years A, B, and C Christmas 2 Used With Tune: PANGE LINGUA

The Sower
Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:4-9 First Line: Ye Sons of Earth prepare the Plough Lyrics: 1 Ye Sons of Earth prepare the Plough,
Break up your fallow Ground!
The Sower is gone forth to sow,
And scatter Blessings round.
2 The Seed that finds a stony Soil,
Shoots forth a hasty Blade;
But ill repays the Sower's Toil,
Soon wither'd, scorch'd , and dead.
3 The thorny Ground is sure to baulk
All Hopes of Harvest there:
We find a tall and sickly Stalk,
But not the fruitful Ear.
4 The beaten Path, and High-Way Side
Receive the Trust in vain:
The watchful Birds the Spoil divide,
And pick up all the Grain.
5 But where the LORD of Grace and Pow'r
Has bless'd the happy Field;
How plenteous is the Golden Store
The Deep-wrought Furrows yield!
6 Father of Mercies, we have need
Of thy preparing Grace;
Let the same Hand that gives the Seed
Provide a Fruitful-Place.

Christ's Church Shall Glory in His Power
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13 First Line: Christ's church shall glory in his pow'r Lyrics: 1 Christ’s church shall glory in his pow'r
And grow to his perfection;
He is our rock, our mighty tow'r
Our life, our resurrection:
So by his skillful hand
The church of Christ shall stand;
The master-builder's plan
He works, as he began,
And soon will crown with splendor.
2 Christ's people serve his wayward world
To whom he seems a stranger;
He knows its welcome from of old,
He shares our joy, our danger:
So strong, and yet so weak,
The church of Christ shall speak;
His cross our greatest need,
His word the vital seed
That brings a fruitful harvest.
3 Christ's living lamp shall brightly burn,
And to our earthly city
Forgotten beauty shall return,
And purity and pity:
To give the oppressed their right
The church of Christ shall fight;
And though the years seem long
He is our strength and song,
And he is our salvation.

Faith and Truth and Life Bestowing
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:3-23 Lyrics: 1 Faith and truth and life bestowing,
Open now the Scriptures, Lord,
Seed to life eternal sowing,
Scattered on the wind abroad.
Let not hearts, Your Word receiving,
Like a barren field be found,
Choked with thorns and unbelieving,
Shallow earth or stony ground.
2 May the Spirit's pow'r unceasing
Bring to life the hidden grain,
Daily in our hearts increasing,
Bearing fruit that shall remain.
So in Scripture, song, and story,
Savior, may Your voice be heard.
Till our eyes behold Your glory
Give us ears to hear Your Word. Topics: The Word of God; Beginning of Service Used With Tune: HOLY MANNA
