Hymnal: Light and Life #25 (1881) First Line: Cast thy bread upon the waters Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Thinking not 'tis thrown away,
God himself saith thou shalt gather
It again some future day.
2 Cast thy bread upon the waters;
Wildly though the billows roll,
They but aid thee as thou toilest,
Truth to spread from pole to pole.
3 Cast thy bread upon the waters;
Why wilt thou still doubting stand?
Bounteous shall God send the harvest,
If thou sow'st with liberal band.
4 Give, then, freely of thy substance--
O'er this cause the Lord doth reign;
Cast thy bread, and toil with patience,
Thou shalt labor not in vain. Languages: English Tune Title: WATKINSON
