You’ve scattered the good seed far and wide, By streamlets fair and on mountain side, You’ve worked till the sunset glow.” You’ve worked to the sunset glow, You’ve worked till the sunset glow, By streamlets fair and on mountain side, You’ve worked till the sunset glow. 2 The sower made answer in words like these, “I have toiled since break of day, My forehead was kissed by the morning breeze And ‘twas scorched by noontide ray, But I fear that the thorns will choke the seek, The birds of the air may on it fee, Perchance on the rocks ‘twill die indeed, Then what will the Master say?” Then what will the Master say? Then what will the Master say? Perchance on rocks it will die indeed, Then what will the Master say? 3 “O sower, be trustful” I made reply, “You have worked for Christ the Lord, He sendeth the sunlight from smiling sky, From His hand the rain is poured; He’ll watch the seed which your hand did sow, The dews will fall and the soft winds blow, Till tall and fair shall the ripe grain grow— For such is the promised word.” For such is the promised word, For such is the promised word, Till tall and fair shall the ripe grain grow— For such is the promised word. 4 A sower was wending his homeward way, But his steps were glad and fleet; He carrolled a song, ‘twas a happy lay, And it told of faith so sweet; For trust had come in the place of fear, “In God’s good time will the grain appear,” A glad “well done” will the toiler hear, His heart shall with rapture beat. His heart shall with rapture beat, His heart shall with rapture beat, A glad “well done” will the toiler hear, His heart shall with rapture beat.

Will my feet from the pathway stray? Does it wind thro’ fields where the streamlets glide, By the groves where the fountains play?” “There’s a Hand that points to the pathway true, There’s a Voice that will tell the way, And the road which the pilgrim should pursue Leadeth straight to the Gates of Day.” 3 “O, I fear my feet will aweary grow As I trudge over hill and dale, And I fain would rest where the flow’rets blows, Where the streams glide along the vale.” “Nay, there’s rest for the weary pilgrim feet In the Land where the King doth reign, Then with lov’d and lost you will gladly meet As they greet you with welcome strain.” Languages: English Tune Title: [I would seek a Land in a far-off clime]
