Representative Text

1 The Lord in greatly blessing us
Before the world His power displays;
Yea, great things God has done for us,
And filled our hearts with joy and praise.

Refrain:
Although with toil and tears
The sower bears his seed,
When harvest time appears
He shall be glad indeed.

2 O Lord, refresh us by Thy grace,
Revive and quicken all our powers,
As failing streams are made to flow,
Replenished by abundant showers. [Refrain]

3 The sower bearing precious seed
May weep as in his toil he grieves,
But he shall come again with joy
In harvest time with golden sheaves. [Refrain]
