Matthew 13:8

• [Mat 13:8] Are You Sowing The Seed?

  Are you sowing the seed of the kingdom, brother, In the morning bright and fair? Are you sowing the seed of the kingdom, brother, In the heat of the noonday’s glare? Refrain For the harvest time is coming on, And the reapers’ work will soon be done; Will your sheaves be many? Will you garner any For the gathering at the harvest home? Are you sowing the seed of the kingdom, sister, In the still and solemn night? Are you sowing the seed of the kingdom, sister, For a harvest pure and white? Refrain Are you sowing the seed of the kingdom, brother, All along the fertile way? Are you sowing the seed of the kingdom, sister? You must reap at the last great day! Refrain

• [Mat 13:8] Sow The Seed Beside All Waters

  Sow the seed beside all waters, North and south and east and west, That our toiling sons and daughters In the harvest may be blessed. Tell the tidings of salvation ’Mid the storms of Labrador; Speak the word of consolation By the lone Pacific shore. Where the forests old are falling, Yielding place to lawn and lea; Where the fisher plies his calling ’Mid the perils of the sea; Where the tide of commerce rushes Through the city’s crowded street, And unpitying Mammon crushes Poor and weak beneath his feet. Where our brothers, sowing, reaping, Delving for the hidden ore, Now with joy and now with weeping Labor to increase their store; Where the stranger wanders lonely In the homeless wilderness, Tell of Jesus, Jesus only, Who alone can save and bless. Tell how tenderly He careth For the weary and oppressed, How their burdens all He beareth, As He leads them to His rest; Tell that He, the Lord from heaven, Died for all and lives again, All through Him may be forgiven, All with Him in glory reign. Tell His love beyond all telling, Seeking, following those who flee, Love rebellious hearts compelling To His service glad and free. Thus a precious harvest gather, North and south and east and west, To the glory of the Father, Son, and Spirit ever blest.

Matthew 28:1

• [Mat 28:1] Day Of God, Thou Blessèd Day

  Day of God, thou blessèd day, At thy dawn the grave gave way To the power of Him within, Who had, sinless, bled for sin. Thine the radiance to illume First, for man, the dismal tomb, When its bars their weakness owned, There revealing death dethroned. Then the Sun of righteousness Rose, a darkened world to bless, Bringing up from mortal night Immortality and light. Day of glory, day of power, Sacred be thine every hour: Emblem, earnest, of the rest That remaineth for the blest.
