87. Sowing the Seed

1 Oh, it is sweet to be serving today,
Sowing the seed of the kingdom of love;
Never to falter nor fail to obey,
Serving the Father above.

Refrain:
Sowing the seed,
We’re sowing the seed of the kingdom above;
Sowing the seed
In faith, and rejoicing in love.

2 Sowing good seed where some heart is prepared,
Open to light and the knowledge of truth;
Letting no labor or effort be spared,
Now in the springtime of youth. [Refrain]

3 Lord, I will count it my highest employ,
Seed of the kingdom to patiently sow;
Early and late, yes, in tears and in joy,
Sure that the harvest will grow. [Refrain]
