Representative Text

1 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Nothing from the Lord withhold;
Sow the seed, and in the harvest
You shall reap an hundred fold.

Chorus:
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Thou shalt find it after many days;
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Thou shalt find it after many days.

2 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Thinking not of your reward;
Let your living be a service,
Be an honor to your Lord. [Chorus]

3 Cast thy bread upon the waters;
Give, and give to Him the praise;
'Twill return to you unmeasured
After many, many days. [Chorus]
