Triumphant Songs No.5 ‎#27

27. Sowing for the Reaping

1 Sowing the seed in the morning light,
Sowing at noontide’s ray;
Sowing, still sowing when cometh nigh,
Sowing along life’s way.

Refrain:
Sowing for the reaping,
Reaping by and by,
Oh, be careful what you sow,
For the seed will surely grow,
And the reaping time will come by and by.

2 Sowing the seed in the sunlight fair,
Sowing where shadows fall;
Sowing the good or the bad with care,
Sowing beyond recall. [Refrain]

3 Sowing the seed in the world’s mad strife,
Tho’tless of what will grow;
Sowing the seed of a sinful life,
Sowing the seed of woe. [Refrain]
