We Are Sowing
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #216 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Parables Lyrics: 1. We are sowing, daily sowing
Countless seeds of good and ill,
Scattered on the level lowland,
Cast upon the windy hill;
Seeds that sink in rich, brown furrows,
Soft with heaven’s gracious rain;
Seeds that rest upon the surface
Of the dry, unyielding plain;
2. Seeds that fall amid the stillness
Of the lonely mountain glen;
Seeds cast out in crowded places,
Trodden under foot of men;
Seeds by idle hearts forgotten,
Flung at random on the air;
Seeds by faithful souls remembered,
Sown in tears and love and prayer;
3. Seeds that lie unchanged, unquickened,
Lifeless on the teeming mold;
Seeds that live and grow and flourish
When the sower’s hand is cold.
By a whisper sow we blessings;
By a breath we scatter strife.
In our words and thoughts and actions
Lie the seeds of death and life.
4. Thou who knowest all our weakness,
Leave us not to sow alone!
Bid thine angels guard the furrows
Where the precious grain is sown,
Till the fields are crown’d with glory,
Filled with mellow, ripened ears,
Filled with fruit of life eternal
From the seed we sowed in tears. Scripture: Psalm 126:5-6 Languages: English Tune Title: WESTWOOD
We Are Sowing

Dear to the Heart of the Shepherd
Father of mercies, in your word
Author: Anne Steele (1717-1778) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #247 (1987) Topics: Epiphany 6, Revelation Parables Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, in your word
what endless glory shines!
For ever be your name adored
for these celestial lines.
2 Here may the blind and hungry come
and light and food receive;
here shall the humble guest find room
and taste and see and live.
3 Here the redeemer's welcome voice
spreads heavenly peace around,
and life and everlasting joys
attend the blissful sound.
4 Here springs of consolation rise
to cheer the fainting mind,
and thirsty souls receive supplies
and sweet refreshment find.
5 Divine instructor, gracious Lord,
be now and always near;
teach us to love your sacred word
and view our saviour here. Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL (IRONS)
Father of mercies, in your word
God has spoken - by his prophets
Author: G. W. Briggs (1875-1959) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #248 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Epiphany 6, Revelation Parables Lyrics: 1 God has spoken — by the prophets,
spoken his unchanging word;
each from age to age proclaiming
God the one, the righteous Lord;
in the world's despair and turmoil
one firm anchor still holds fast:
God is king, his throne eternal,
God the first and God the last.
2 God has spoken — by Christ Jesus,
Christ, the everlasting Son;
brightness of the Father's glory,
with the Father ever one:
spoken by the Word incarnate,
Life, before all time began,
light of light, to earth descending,
God, revealed as Son of Man.
3 God is speaking — by the Spirit,
speaking to our hearts again;
in the age-long word expounding
God's own message, now as then.
Through the rise and fall of nations
one sure faith is standing fast:
God abides, his word unchanging,
God the first and God the last. Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: EBENEZER
God has spoken - by his prophets
How sure the Scriptures are!
Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #249 (1987) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Epiphany 6, Revelation Parables Lyrics: 1 How sure the Scriptures are!
God's vital, urgent word,
as true as steel, and far
more sharp than any sword:
So deep and fine,
at his control
they pierce where soul
and spirit join.
2 They test each human thought,
refining like a fire;
they measure what we ought
to do and to desire:
For God know all —
exposed it lies
before his eyes
to whom we call.
3 Let those who hear his voice
confronting them today,
reject the tempting choice
of doubting or delay:
For God speaks still —
his word is clear,
so let us hear
and do his will! Scripture: Hebrews 4:12-13 Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT'S 136th
How sure the Scriptures are!
