Representative Text

1 We shall reap as we have sown in the world’s broad field,
Reap as we have sown,
Reap as we have sown;
Every loving deed we’ve done shall a harvest yield,
When the Lord shall claim His own.

Refrain:
And when our work is ended, we shall wear a crown,
We shall wear a crown,
We shall wear a crown;
And when our work is ended, we shall wear a crown,
And we’ll rest with Christ at home.

2 Let us sow the seeds of love by the waters still,
Sow the seeds of love,
Sow the seeds of love,
For the work that we may do shall a mansion fill,
When the Lord shall claim His own. [Refrain]

3 There are lonely hearts to cheer as the days go by,
Lonely hearts to cheer,
Lonely hearts to cheer;
There are erring ones to guide to the home on high,
When the Lord shall claim His own. [Refrain]

4 Soon the reaping time shall come for the seeds we’ve sown,
Reaping time shall come,
Reaping time shall come,
And we all shall then appear at the judgment throne,
When the Lord shall crown His own. [Refrain]
