Sowing and Reaping

Author: Howard Kingsbury Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Are we sowing seeds of kindness? Lyrics: 1 Are we sowing seeds of kindness? They shall blossom bright ere long; Are we sowing seeds of discord? They shall ripen into wrong. Are we sowing seeds of honor? They shall bring forth golden grain; Are we sowing seeds of falsehood? We shall yet reap bitter pain. 2 We can never be too careful, What the seed our hand shall sow; Love for love is sure to ripen, Hate for hate is sure to grow. Seeds of good or ill we scatter, Heedlessly along our way; But a glad or grievous fruitage, Waits us at the harvest day. Used With Tune: GARAISON Text Sources: Echo to Happy Voices (New York: American Tract Society, 1869)

Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flowery meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain, Call us to rejoice in Thee. 3 Mortals, join the happy chorus Which the morning stars began; Love divine is reigning o’er us, Joining all in heaven's plan. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife, Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life.
