Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Joyful Sound #115 (1889) First Line: Scattering the seed, the precious, precious seed Refrain First Line: Let us not be weary, weary in well-doing Lyrics: 1 Scattering the seed, the precious, precious seed,
Seeds of love and faith and duty;
Hear, oh, hear the word, the harvest will appear,
Glorious in wealth and beauty.
Refrain:
Let us not be weary, weary in well-doing,
Praying while we sow the seed that cannot die;
Sowing by all waters, sowing to the Spirit,
We shall reap with rapture by and by.
2 Scattering the seed, wherever we may be,
Finding there a field of labor;
Sowing seeds of love which, springing up, shall bear
Blessing to a needy neighbor. [Refrain]
3 Scattering the seed thro’ weary, darksome hours,
Long may seem the night of weeping;
But the day will dawn of happy harvest time,
Time of everlasting reaping. [Refrain]
4 Scattering the seed with willing heart and hand,
Joyful is the harvest story;
Bringing home the sheaves, we’ll shout the jubilee,
To our Lord be all the glory! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Scattering the seed, the precious, precious seed]
