Fruitful trees, the Spirit’s sowing

by Timothy Dudley-Smith

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 414.

Verse 1

Fruitful trees, the Spirit’s sowing, May we ripen and increase, Fruit to life eternal growing, Rich in love and joy and peace.

Verse 2

Laden branches freely bearing Gifts the Giver loves to bless; Here is fruit that grows by sharing, Patience, kindness, gentleness.

Verse 3

Rooted deep in Christ, our Master, Christ, our pattern and our goal, Teach us, as the years fly faster, Goodness, faith, and self control.

Verse 4

Fruitful trees, the Spirit’s tending, May we grow till harvests cease; Till we taste, in life unending, Heaven’s love and joy and peace.
