| Text: | Now the Sowing and the Weeping |
| Author: | Frances Ridley Havergal |
| Tune: | WALMISLEY |
| Composer: | Dr. T. A. Walmisley |
1 Now, the sowing, and the weeping,
Working hard, and waiting long;
Afterward, the golden reaping,
Harvest-home and grateful song.
Now, the long and toilsome duty,
Stone by stone to carve and bring;
Afterward, the perfect beauty
Of the palace of the King.
2 Now, the spirit conflict-riven,
Wounded heart, and painful strife;
Afterward the triumph given,
And the victor’s crown of life.
Now, the training, hard and lowly,
Weary feet and aching brow;
Afterward, the service holy,
And the Master’s “Enter Thou!”
