Mark 4:26-34 NRSV
[Jesus] also said, “The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head. But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because the harvest has come.”
He also said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”


I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord
Timothy Dwight | Aaron Williams

I love Thy kingdom, Lord, the house of Thine abode, the church our blest Redeemer saved with His own precious blood.
I love Thy church, O God! Her walls before Thee stand, dear as the apple of Thine eye, and graven on Thy hand.
For her my tears shall fall; for her my prayers ascend; to her my cares and toils be given, till toils and cares shall end.
Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, her sweet communion, solemn vows, her hymns of love and praise.
Sure as Thy truth shall last, to Zion shall be given the brightest glories earth can yield, and brighter bliss of heaven.


Behold Now the Kingdom
