Father of the harvest,
Hear this, our thankful prayer,
For all the precious ingathering
Of bounty everywhere.
The sown seed has sprouted forth,
The full crop has appeared;
The wheat is garnered, tares
cast off
For this, another year.
O Father of the harvest,
Keep us within Thy fold
That we may be the wheat,
not tares,
At the ingathering of souls.

Matt: 13:24-31
