Warren Hymnal: Timeless Truths #135 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the water, ’Twill return in many days; Crumbs of truth for Jesus scatter, All along thy pilgrim ways. Refrain: Cast thy bread upon the water, It will soon return again; Cast thy bread upon the water, Jesus says ’tis not in vain. 2 Cast thy bread upon the water, Christ will watch the rolling wave, As it ripples slowly onward, To the soul He seeks to save.
