Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

A planting of seeds prayer




  

    Seed we bring
    Lord, to thee, wilt thou bless them, O Lord!
    Gardens we bring
    Lord, to thee, wilt thou bless them, O Lord!
    Hoes we bring
    Lord, to thee, wilt thou bless them, O Lord!
    Knives we bring
    Lord, to thee, wilt thou bless them, O Lord!
    Hands we bring
    Lord, to thee, wilt thou bless them, O Lord!
    Ourselves we bring
    Lord, to thee, wilt thou bless them, O Lord!

  East African hymn used at a service for blessing of seeds (Appleton, 1985)
