180. Sowing the Precious Seed

1 Be earnest, toiler for the Lord,
Sowing the precious seed;
Look forward to the blest reward,
Sowing the precious seed.

Refrain:
Sowing the precious seed,
Sowing the precious seed,
Be faithful in the vineyard labor,
Sowing the precious seed.

2 The laborers are very few,
Sowing the precious seed;
And the dear Lord has need of you,
Sowing the precious seed. [Refrain]

3 O labor patiently each day,
Sowing the precious seed;
And for the Father’s blessing pray,
Sowing the precious seed. [Refrain]

4 Will you not enter now the field,
Sowing the precious seed,
In hope of an abundant yield,
Sowing the precious seed. [Refrain]
