Text: | The Little Sower |
Author: | Fanny Church |
Tune: | [Behold the seed time cometh] |
Composer: | David Baxter |
1 Behold the seed time cometh,
O youthful hearts be strong,
Go forth to work for Jesus,
Go forth with prayer and song.
Chorus:
Oh! precious, precious seed,
When reaping time shall come,
We'll gather in the golden sheaves,
We'll sing sweet "Harvest home."
2 O, worker for life's harvest,
O toiler in the field,
The seed you sow thus early,
A hundred fold shall yield. [Chorus]
3 Though oft you sow in weeping,
The precious, precious seed,
Fear not, for grace is with you,
Sufficient for your need. [Chorus]
4 Faint not, though hard thy labor,
Though oft with toil oppressed,
Hope on, the twilight cometh,
The season of thy rest. [Chorus]
