There’s a seedtime up in Heaven
There’s a harvest here on earth.
There’s a growing in the Spirit
When amazing love gives birth.
There’s a boundless joy in giving,
There’s a peace thet’s too profound
For our human understanding
When the Lord prepares the ground.

There are roots made firm by patience;
There’s a goodness straight and tall,
Loyal and assured in meekness
Answering the Saviour’s call.
There’s a flow’ring of the spirit
Disciplined by self-control,
Gentle kindness branching outwards
In a fellowship of soul.

There’s no limit to the freedom
Jesus offers to his own,
Rooted, nurtured by His Spirit,
Fruit to bear divinely grown.
There’s rejoicing up in Heaven
At the harvest here on Earth,
Souls to feed and life fulfilling
When the love of God gives birth.
