8654. Beautiful Story To Tell

1 Sowing and reaping for Jesus our king,
Beautiful story to tell!
Spreading His Gospel in truth as we sing,
Beautiful story to tell.

Refrain:
Sowing the seed of the kingdom,
Sing it wherever you go;
Reapers shall gather together,
Whatsoever they sow.

2 Sowing the words of His wonderful love,
Beautiful story to tell!
Pointing the erring to Heaven above,
Beautiful story to tell. [Refrain]

3 Sowing for Jesus, yes, sowing today,
Beautiful story to tell!
Sowing for Jesus, for He is the way,
Beautiful story to tell. [Refrain]

4 Sowing, still sowing for Jesus we send,
Beautiful story to tell!
Seed that we’ll harvest when cometh the end,
Beautiful story to tell. [Refrain]
