Cast Thy Bread upon the Water

Author: Barney E. 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. [Refrain] 3 Cast thy bread upon the water, Let it spread from pole to pole; And the prayers of patient toilers Soon will yield some precious soul. [Refrain] 4 Cast thy bread upon the water, Trusting it is not in vain, For the lost and wand’ring sinner May be gathered back again. [Refrain] Topics: Missionary Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:1 Tune Title: [Cast thy bread upon the water]
