Cast thy bread upon the waters

Author: Anon. Appears in 124 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Thinking not 'tis thrown away; God himself saith, "Thou shalt gather It again some future day." 2 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Wildly though the billows roll, They but aid thee as thou toilest Truth to spread from pole to pole. 3 As the seed, by billows floated To some distant island lone, So to human souls benighted That thou sowest may be borne. 4 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Why wilt thou still doubting stand? Bounteous shall God send the harvest, If thou sow with liberal hand. 5 Give them freely of thy substance; O'er his cause the Lord doth reign: Cast thy bread and toil with patience, Thou shalt labor not in vain.
