Abounding Harvest

2 Corinthians 9.10
Tune: KREMSER (“We Gather Together to Ask the Lord's Blessing”) Lyrics: O God, you have scattered your gifts and your blessings, the bread that gives life and the seed that grows. Your grace is astounding, the harvest is abounding. You give to the poor, and our cup overflows!
We come to the banquet, as each one is able, rejoicing and voicing our thanks and our praise. While singing we’re bringing our gifts to your table, that we may serve you through all of our days.
As you have enriched us, so may we be giving, and sow as we’ve reaped, in abundance and trust: now gratefully giving through all of our living the grace that you offer; for share it we must.
Our God who has planted and nurtured now harvests, and so we surrender our lives to God’s use. With Christ as our Vine, we are branches in his spirit, all bearing fruit in love, and made one in God’s Peace. May be included with previous verses, or used as a sending song at the end of worship: We go now, confessing our love and our blessing for each, our companions in service and grace. We’ll nourish each other as sister and brother, to serve as God’s Bread for the whole human race. -

In it you’ve hidden the wondrous, fishes and loaves you can use to feed thousands with love.
