What Shall the Harvest Be?

Oakley Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Harvest Time First Line: Sowing the seed by the daylight fair Refrain First Line: Sown in the darkness or sown in the light Lyrics: 1 Sowing the seed by the daylight fair, Sowing the seed by the noonday glare, Sowing the seed by the fading light, Sowing the seed in the solemn night.
