Representative Text

1 In the freshness of the morning,
Is the time to sow good seed,
By example, friendly warning,
You may some ne Christward lead.

Refrain:
Sow the gospel seed today,
Sow the gospel seed today.
In the Home, workshop or meeting,
Sow the Gospel seed today.

2 While your pulses strong are beating,
While you feel health’s glow and light,
In the home, workshop or meeting,
Active be for what is right. [Refrain]

3 Work for Christ today in earnest,
Now is your best time to start;
Where you may stay or may journey,
Drop a seed in some one’s heart. [Refrain]

4 Go and gather souls for Jesus,
While thy strength and breath remain;
Souls around you still are dying,
In their guilt and in their shame. [Refrain]

5 Work for Jesus, spread His teaching,
Show the world His bleeding side;
That the last ones may be gathered,
And the precious blood applied. [Refrain]
