Lyrics

Oh, scatter seeds of lov­ing deeds
Along the fer­tile field,
For grain will grow from what you sow,
And fruit­ful harv­est yield.

Refrain

Then day by day along your way,
The seeds of pro­mise cast,
That rip­ened grain, from hill and plain,
Be ga­thered home at last.

Tho’ sown in tears thro’ wea­ry years,
The seed will sure­ly live;
Tho’ great the cost, it is not lost,
For God will fruit­age give.

Refrain

The har­vest home of God will come,
And af­ter toil and care;
With joy un­told your sheaves of gold
Will all be gar­nered there.
