Unless a grain of wheat is sown in soil, br And dies, decays, transforms, gets life anew, br And sprouts into a sapling through one's toil, br It cannot grow to bear fruits that are due! br br The grain of wheat remains as such, if not: br Like selfish men who will not do God's will; br Serve God usefully, they simply cannot, br Nor granary at harvest-time, they fill.
