Our hymn reminds us of what Jesus taught about the grain of wheat. It falls to earth, then bursts its shell, and in dying puts forth the first green shoot of a new life.
Very good hymn! Never heard or saw it before ( which doesn’t usually happen to me!) I have learned quite a lot of hymns in the several denominations I have been a pert of during my 80+ years!! Hoping to see you in person one of these days….

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
This was a song at my dad’s funeral, which took place at the end of the Easter season one sad year.
This hymn ties together Christmas, Good Friday and Easter, bringing hope to those suffering great sorrow.
