Text: | Sow in the morn thy seed |
Author: | James Montgomery |
1 Sow in the morn thy seed,
At eve hold not thy hand;
To doubt and fear, give thou no heed,
Broad-cast it o'er the land.
2 Thou know'st not which may thrive,
The late or early sown;
Grace keeps the precious germs alive,
When and wherever strown.
3 And duly shall appear,
In verdure, beauty, strength,
The tender blade, the stalk, the ear,
And the full corn at length.
4 Thou canst not toil in vain;
Cold, heat, and moist, and dry,
Shall foster and mature the grain
For garners in the sky.
