Bless these seeds

Inch by inch, row by row,
Father bless these seeds you sow
In the good soil they will grow
To be there for ever more
'Way from rocks 'way from birds
'way from all the thistle spurs
With your help and with your words
will these seeds grow deep and strong.

Year by year, day by day
May I do things just your way
Make me true and wise I pray
so your crops grow straight and tall
Inch by inch row by row,
Father bless these seeds you sow
In the good soil they will grow
To be there for ever more
