We'll Reap What We Sow

Author: James Rowe Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: O let us be careful in sowing our seed Refrain First Line: We'll reap whatsoever we sow Lyrics: 1 O let us be careful in sowing our seed, While toiling for Jesus below; Sow only the things that the spirit will need, We'll reap whatsoever we sow. Chorus: We'll reap whatsoever we sow, Whatever the seeds they will grow; Be careful indeed, Sow only good seed, We'll reap whatsoever we sow. 2 If naught to the world we are giving today, Then nothing the world will return; But if we are serving the Lord on the way, The life crown we surely shall earn. [Chorus] 3 Sow only our best for our heavenly King, And then when no longer we roam; The song of the reapers we ever shall sing, At rest in our glorious home. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [O let us be careful in sowing our seed]
