Open, then, thy golden store

Hymnal: International Song Service #133 (1895) First Line: In the furrows of thy life Lyrics: 1 In the furrows of thy life, Scatter seed! Small may be the spirit field, But a goodly crop 'twill yield; Sow the kindly word and deed Scatter, scatter goodly seed! Chorus: Open, then, thy golden store, Stretch the furrows more and more, God will give thee all thy need Scatter, scatter goodly seed! 2 Sun and shower aid thee now, Scatter seed! Who can tell where grain may grow? Winds are blowing to and fro, Daily good thy simple creed. Scatter, scatter goodly seed! [Chorus] 3 Though thy work should seem to fail, Scatter seed! Some may fall on stony ground: Flower and blade are often found In the clefts we little heed. Scatter, scatter goodly seed! [Chorus] 4 Springtime always dawns for thee! Scatter seed! Open, then, thy golden store, Stretch thy furrows more and more; God will give thee all thy need. Scatter, scatter, goodly seed! [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: THE GOLDEN STORE

Philip Phillips

1834 - 1895 Person Name: P. Phillips Composer of "THE GOLDEN STORE" in International Song Service Phillips, Philip, commonly known as the "Singing Pilgrim," was born in Chautauqua County, N. York, Aug. 13, 1834. Although engaged in farming for a time, from an early age he devoted himself to music, and ultimately devoted himself to the work of a "Singing Evangelist," in which capacity he has visited most English-speaking countries. His popular hymnals are: (1) Early Blossoms, 1860; (2) Musical Leaves, 1862; and (3) The Singing Pilgrim, 1866. In these works he published one or two hymns, including "I have heard of a Saviour's love" (The love of Christ), as in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, 1878. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
