Sowing the Precious Seed
Author: W. A. O. Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sowing the precious seed
In the early dawn of morning,
Sowing the precious seed
In the noon-day fair;
Sowing the precious seed
For the youthful heart’s adorning,
Sowing the precious seed
With a tender care.
Refrain:
Sowing the precious seed
Sowing the precious seed
Scattering far and wide,
With patient, loving hand;
Breaking the bread of life,
Telling o’er the gospel story,
Sowing the precious seed
In the dear homeland.
2 Sowing the precious seed
While the day is fast declining,
Sowing the precious seed
In the twilight dim;
Sowing the precious seed
Neither doubting nor repining,
Leaving it all to God,
Trusting all to Him. [Refrain]
3 Sowing the precious seed
With an earnest, true endeavor,
Sowing the precious seed
Of the golden grain,
Sowing the precious seed
And the hand withholding never,
Praying that God will send
It the sun and rain. [Refrain] Topics: Work Used With Tune: [Sowing the precious seed]
