Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The Lord in greatly blessing us Refrain First Line: Although with toil and tears Lyrics: 1 The Lord in greatly blessing us Before the world His power displays; Yea, great things God has done for us, And filled our hearts with joy and praise. Refrain: Although with toil and tears The sower bears his seed, When harvest time appears He shall be glad indeed. 2 O Lord, refresh us by Thy grace, Revive and quicken all our powers, As failing streams are made to flow, Replenished by abundant showers. [Refrain] 3 The sower bearing precious seed May weep as in his toil he grieves, But he shall come again with joy In harvest time with golden sheaves.
