Sowing The Seed

1. Unheeding winter�s cruel blast,
   We venture heaven�s seed to cast,
   Both late and early plant the truth
   In aged hearts and tender youth.
   • Refrain:
     Then sow the seed in every field,
     And grace will bring the golden yield;
     We soon shall sing the joyful song,
     And shout the blessed harvest home.
2. Shall we be found with only leaves
   When Jesus comes to gather sheaves?
   Nay, sowing daily o�er the land,
   We�ll come with joyful sheaves in hand.
3. Nor is the precious labor hard,
   Its glory is its own reward;
   We plant in hearts of grim despair
   A life that blooms as Eden fair.
4. Oh, were this life the utmost span,
   The closing destiny of man,
   No toil could half so blessed prove
   As sowing seeds of peace and love.
5. But heaven�s bright eternal years
   Have bottled up our sowing tears;
   There we shall greet in holy bliss
   The souls we turned to righteousness.
