Hymnal ‎#298

298. Sow in the morn thy seed

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.
