Text:	Sow the Seed
Author:	Unknonw
Tune:	[In the furrows of thy life]
Composer:	T. C. O'Kane

1 In the furrows of thy life,
Sow the seed;
Small may be thy spirit-field,
But a goodly crop 'twill yield;
Sow the kindly word and deed,
Sow the seed, sow the seed, goodly seed.

2 Though thy work should seem to fail,
Sow the seed;
Some may fall on stony ground,
Flower and blade are often found,
In the clefts we little heed,
Sow the seed, sow the seed, goodly seed.

3 Spring-time always dawns for thee,
Sow the seed;
Open then thy golden store,
Stretch thy furrows more and more,
God will give thee all thy need,
Sow the seed, sow the seed, goodly seed.
