Bread That Was Sown

Bread that was sown in our hills and valleys,

Now harvested, becomes one; from all the world gather your people, O God,

into the feast of your love.

1. With grateful hearts, we sing our joy for knowing Spirit within among us all;

Life and knowledge revealed through your word: Jesus, the Christ, Emmanuel.

2. Leaven and wheat so let us be for others, nurturing good with earnest care,

Bringing to birth new life where hope has gone stale,

Faith-giving moments to share.

3. Sign of the nearness of one whose Life sustains us,

Heart of our heart, Creator Friend,

Calling us all to be spirit alive;

You God our future lasting life.

4. Bread that was sown in our hills 

And valleys now harvested becomes One;

From all the world gather your people,

O God, into the feast of your love.
