Whence many grains have been produced
To be the Kingdom’s children meet,
Thru whom God’s reign is introduced.

But Satan, enemy of God,
Sowed many tares among the wheat,
The Kingdom’s children to confuse,
And awful damage to create.

’Tis by this subtle work of his,
The mixing of the tares with wheat,
The Kingdom in appearance is
Abnormal and grotesquely great.

The Kingdom should as mustard be,
A little herb, yet good for food,
But it has changed into a “tree,”
A system of great magnitude.

Instead of being good for food,
A lodge of “birds” it has become:
’Tis now a place where evil men
And evil spirits make their home.

Its outward form to us reveals.
Including pagan, evil things,
As leaven mingled with the meal.

It thus has changed in outward form;
By evil things which it imbibes,
Corruption inwardly doth swarm.

But something hidden God doth seek,

’Tis hidden from vast Christendom
And from the Kingdom’s great facade,
Yet in its full reality
’Tis transformed like to Christ and God.

Lord, separate us from the “tares,”
And save us from the monstrous “tree”;
From all the “leaven” purge us now
That we may purely be of Thee.

Praise the Lord! We all can testify that there’s something of His life that grows in our hearts ever since we have heard the gospel or read the Bible.
Christ is the Sower sowing Himself as the seed of life into our heart, and He wants to live in us, grow in us, and be expressed from within us. Hallelujah! 😀
