Madan's Col. HYMN 128. C. M. Reading. [b *] Seed in different Grounds. Matt. xiii, 3. 1 VE sons of earth, prepare the plough 1 Break up your fallow ground: The sower is gone forth to sow, And scatter blessings round. 2 The seed that finds a stony soil, Shoots forth a hasty blade; But ill repays the sower's toil, Soon wither'd, scorch'd, and dead. 3 The thorny ground is sure to balk All hopes of harvest there; We find a tall and sickly stalk, But not the fruitful ear. Receive the trust in vain; And pick up all the grain. Has bless'd the happy field; The deep wrought furrows yield! e 6 Father of mercies, we have need Of thy preparing grace, -Let the same hand that gives the seed, Provide a fruitful place. Cowper.

From evil guard our way; Permit us not to stray. |
