Seed, Scattered and Sown | Catholic Communion Hymn | SATB Choir with Lyrics | Living Bread of God

"Seed, Scattered and Sown" by Dan Feiten is a well-known Communion hymn in the Catholic tradition, drawing from the Didache, 1 Corinthians 10:16–17, and Mark 4:3–6 to paint a beautiful picture of the Eucharist: "Seed, scattered and sown, wheat, gathered and grown, bread, broken and shared as one, the living Bread of God." Its imagery of grain gathered from many hills into one loaf, and grapes pressed into one cup shared by all, beautifully echoes this weekend's Gospel of the Wheat and the Weeds (Matthew 13:24–43), in which Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of Heaven grows patiently alongside imperfection, until the day of harvest when "the righteous will shine like the sun." Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at SFDS Parish, Ajax ON Canada.

Where to Purchase: www.ocp.org/en-us/songs/1653/seed-scattered-and-sown Lyrics Seed, scattered and sown, Wheat, gathered and grown, Bread, broken and shared as one, The Living bread of God. Vine, fruit of the land, Wine, work of our hands, One cup that is shared by all; The Living Cup, the Living Bread of God. Verse 1 Is not the bread we break, A sharing in our Lord? Is not the cup we bless, The blood of Christ outpoured? Verse 2 The seed which falls on rock Will wither and will die, The seed within good ground Will flower and have life. Verse 3 As wheat upon the hills Was gathered and was grown, So may the Church of God Be gathered into one. #SeedScatteredAndSown #DanFeiten #CatholicChoir #Sunday7pmChoir #CommunionHymn #LivingBreadOfGod #SixteenthSundayOrdinaryTime #Eucharist #LiturgicalMusic #WheatAndWeeds Thanks for watching the video [Insert Video Title Here]
