and blesses our crops so all the earth yields;
from death unto life her mystery revealed

who makes life to grow
the creatures you made to let your life show;
the flowers and trees that help us to know

Come, dance in the forest, come, play in the field,
And sing, sing to the glory of the Lord!

Seed, scattered and sown

Refrain
Seed, scattered and sown,
wheat, gathered and grown,

the Living Bread of God.

Is not the bread we break,
A sharing in our Lord?
Is not the cup we bless,
the blood of Christ outpoured?

the Living Bread of God.

The seed which falls on rock
will wither and will die,
The seed within good ground
will flower and have life.

Seed, scattered and sown,
wheat, gathered and grown,

As wheat upon the hills
was gathered and was grown,
so may the Church of God
be gathered into one

Recessional Hymn


Be Thou My Vision

Verse 1
Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Verse 2
Be Thou my wisdom, be Thou my true word;
I ever with Thee, and Thou with me, Lord.
Born of Thy love, Thy child may I be,
Thou in me dwelling and I one with Thee.
