Representative Text

1 See the farmer sow the seed
While the field is brown;
See the furrows deep and straight
Up the field and down.

Refrain:
Farmer, farmer, sow your seed
Up the field and down;
God will make the golden corn
Grow where all is brown.

2 Wait a while and look again
Where the field was bare;
See how God has sent the corn
Growing golden there. [Refrain]
