Crowning Day No. 5 ‎#102

102. Sowing and Reaping

Sowing seed in the morning fair,
Growing, growing be careful where;
Sow them then with a tho’tful care,
We shall also reap.

Refrain:
Sowing on the fertile plain
Slowing seed that will spring again;
May it be the perfect grain,
We shall also reap.

1 By the wayside some seed may die,
Some may scorch on the rocks nearby;
Let some seed in the good ground lie,
We shall also reap.

2 Some will bloom with a fragrance sweet,
Some will spring into life complete,
Some will lay at the Master’s feet,
May we such grain reap. [Refrain]
