The Voice of Praise ‎#609

609. He that goeth forth with weeping, Bearing precious seed in love

1 He that goeth forth with weeping,
Bearing precious seed in love,
Never tiring, never sleeping,
Findeth mercy from above.

2 Soft descend the dews of heaven;
Bright the rays celestial shine;
Precious fruits will thus be given,
Through the influence all divine.

3 Sow thy seed: be never weary;
Let no fears thy soul annoy;
Be the prospect ne'er so dreary,
Thou shalt reap the fruits of joy.

4 Lo! the scene of verdure brightening,
In the rising grain appear;
Look again; the fields are whitening,
For the harvest-time is near.
