Turn up my foul stony heart
So that Thy seed may fall
On soil good and supple for
Thy Word to be installed
For thorn and thistle weed and snare
Would bid my bloom of gold
To choke and never fully yield
A harvest hundred-fold
But with Thy plow of patient blade
I ask Thee Lord unmake
The granite slab of disbelief
My inner man hath laid
Unseal my ears and quicken them
So at Thy voice I may
Be counted in the faithful throng
Whose tender hearts obey
So that Thy seed may fall
On soil good and supple for
Thy Word to be installed
For thorn and thistle weed and snare
Would bid my bloom of gold
To choke and never fully yield
A harvest hundred-fold
But with Thy plow of patient blade
I ask Thee Lord unmake
The granite slab of disbelief
My inner man hath laid
Unseal my ears and quicken them
So at Thy voice I may
Be counted in the faithful throng
Whose tender hearts obey
