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.

With grateful hearts, we sing our joy
For knowing the Spirit within, among us all,
Life and knowledge, revealed through your word:
Jesus, the Christ, Emmanuel.

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.
