Author: Mrs. P. A. Hanaford Hymnal: Laudes Domini #468 (1888) Topics: Activity; Christians Duties; Church Work of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table First Line: Cast thy bread upon the waters Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Thinking not 'tis thrown away; God himself saith thou shalt gather It again some future day. 2 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Wildly though the billows roll, They but aid thee as thou toilest Truth to spread from pole to pole. 3 As the seed, by billows floated, To some distant island lone, So to human souls benighted, That thou flingest may be borne. 4 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Why wilt thou still doubting stand? Bounteous shall God send the harvest, If thou sow'st with liberal hand. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:1 Languages: English Tune Title: SOLNEY

Be wise the erring soul to win; Go forth into the world's highway; Compel the wanderer to come in. 4 Go, labor on: your hands are weak; Your knees are faint, your soul cast down; Yet falter not, the prize you seek Is near, a kingdom and a crown!

See the rising grain appear; Look again! the fields are whitening, For the harvest time is near. Scripture: Psalm 126:6 Languages: English Tune Title: STOCKWELL
