A Sower's Seed Fell on a Path

Author: Herman G. Stuempfle Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #33 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Singing the New Testament Lyrics: 1 A sower’s seed fell on a path packed hard by foot and cart, and hungry sparrows ate their fill before a root could start. Refrain: Lord, give us ears to hear your Word and hearts where seed can grow. 2 And some fell down where rocky ground no sustenance could give. Beneath the scorching noon-day sun no tender plant could live. [Refrain] 3 And some seed fell among the weeds that wove a tangling snare to choke the green and budding plants that never fruit would bear. [Refrain] 4 But some seed fell on fertile soil and flourished more and more until the joyous harvest time, when hundredfold it bore. [Refrain] Topics: Illumination; Jesus Christ Teaching of; Obedience (see also Will of God) Scripture: Matthew 13:18-23 Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING SONG
