Parable of the wheat and tares

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:37-42 First Line: Though in the earthly church below Lyrics: 1 Though in the earthly church below The wheat and tares together grow; Jesus ere long will weed the crop, And pluck the tares, in anger up. 2 Will it relieve their horrors there, To recollect their stations here? How much they heard, how much they knew, How long among the wheat they grew! 3 Oh! this will aggravate their case! They perish under means of grace; To them the word of life and faith, Became an instrument of death. 4 We seem alike when thus we meet, Strangers might think we all were wheat; But to the Lord's all-searching eyes, Each heart appears without disguise. 5 The tares are spar'd for various ends, Some, for the sake of praying friends; Others, the Lord, against their will, Employs his counsel to fulfil. 6 But thought they grow so tall and strong, His plan will not require them long; In harvest when he save his own, The tares shall into hell be thrown.

Author: Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 219 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 13:39 Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! Alleluia! hearts to heaven and voices raise; sing to God a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise: he who on the Cross a victim for the world's salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of glory, now is risen from the dead. 2 Christ is risen, Christ the firstfruits of the holy harvest field, which will all its full abundance at his second coming yield; then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before him wave, ripened by his glorious sunshine, from the furrows of the grave. 3 Christ is risen, we are risen; shed upon us heavenly grace, rain, and dew, and gleams of glory from the brightness of thy face; so that we, with hearts in heaven, here on earth may fruitful be, and by angel hands be gathered, and be ever, Lord, with thee. 4 Alleluia! Alleluia! Glory be to God on high; Alleluia to the Saviour, who has gained the victory; Alleluia to the Spirit, fount of love and sanctity: Alleluia! Alleluia! to the blessèd Trinity.
