[Refrain - bare call] He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. The word of the kingdom is falling like seed. [Verse 1 - four grounds] From the boat by the shore, a sower cast wide. Way-side grain vanished under the birds. Shallow earth quickened, then burned in the sun; Without any root, its green promise withered. Thorns rose together and tightened their hold. Care of this world and riches choked the word. Good ground received it, understood, and bore A hundred, sixty, thirty from what was sown. [Verse 2 - eyes opened] Blessed are the eyes that see what prophets desired, Blessed are the ears that hear what they longed to hear. Mysteries are given; some see and do not perceive, Some hear and do not understand. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. [Interlude - 4 bars] [Verse 3 - field at night] Good seed stood green; in the sleeping dark, An enemy crossed and scattered tares. The servants asked, Shall we pull them now? Let both grow together until the harvest. The wheat to the barn; the tares bound for fire; Then shall the righteous shine as the sun. [Breakdown - small things, hidden worth] A mustard grain rose into sheltering branches. Leaven hidden deep moved all the meal. Treasure in a field made a man sell all with joy. One pearl of great price emptied a merchant's hand. [Refrain - gathered return] He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. A net gathers every kind before the shore; The angels sever the wicked from the just. [Outro - new and old] Have ye understood? Yea, Lord. The scribe instructed in the kingdom Is like a householder bringing from his treasure Things new and old.
