The Cyber Hymnal ‎#9330

9330. Be Not Deceived

1 Be not deceived; each soul shall reap
Its harvest soon or late;
Sow now thy seed, the field is wide;
The world is thine estate.

Refrain:
Be not deceived, be not deceived,
God is not mocked;
For whatsoever a man soweth,
Whatsoever a man soweth,
That shall he also reap,
That shall he also reap.

2 Sow evil deeds with careless hand
And one sad day behold
Thy garner filled with blighted hopes,
And woes a hundred fold. [Refrain]

3 Sow seeds of faith and hope and love,
Perchance with falling tears,
A harvest home of peace and joy
Will crown the work of years. [Refrain]

4 God’s law will stand forevermore,
The law His love made known—
From out the harvest field of life
We reap as we have sown. [Refrain]
