1 In the narrow streets and alleys,
In the cottage or the palace,
Where the high or lowly gather,
Dwells the image of the Father.

Refrain:
Blest, O Zion's sons and daughters,
'Ye who sow beside all waters,'
Blest O Zion's sons and daughters,
'Ye who sow beside all waters.'

2 Wheresoe'er the gospel feast is,
There is the greatest as the least, is
Welcome to the heav'nly manna,
Welcome to the glad hosanna. [Refrain]

3 Sow the seed in faith believing,
Toiling, giving and receiving,
In the right thy sure defences,
Thinking naught of consequences. [Refrain]

4 Breath to ev'ry child of sorrow,
Hope and comfort for the morrow,
Hope in ev'ry need availing,
Comfort, to the end imparting. [Refrain]
