112. Seedtime and Harvest

1 Seedtime and harvest since time began,
Sowing and reaping are in God’s plan,
While earth remaineth, ‘tis His decree,
Seedtime and harvest must ever be.

Refrain:
Summer and winter and snow and rain,
Seedtime and harvest must still remain;
Seedtime and harvest for you and me,
Gathering sheaves for eternity.

2 Wonderful seedtime! ‘tis ours to sow
Seeds that for evil or good will grow,
O, let us scatter the seeds of love,
Springing to gladden our souls above. [Refrain]

3 Over the hillside and fertile plain,
Hasten to scatter the golden grain,
Then when the bells ring their evening chime,
Welcome the song of the harvest time. [Refrain]
