HARVEST HARMONY 

Nature's bounty for all to see is gathered in the Church

Flowers in many colours, potatoes in the porch,

Sheaves of golden wheat are placed around the altar and the font

Displaying God's creation for we will never be in want.

Nature's bounty for all to see no longer in bombed out Church

There are no flowers, there is no colour, nor vegetables in the porch,

Sheaves of golden corn have gone in the scorched earth policy

This is not God's creation but man's disharmony.

There is sufficient food for all if we only shared it out

Where there's bare earth seeds can be sown and soon will start to sprout,

War must cease that peace may come and all the world set free,

With God guiding all the nations we can live in harmony.

Paul Scrivener
