Sheet music
- 1O, scatter seeds of loving deeds,Along the fertile field;For grain will grow from what you sow,And fruitful harvest yield.Then day by day along your way,(Then day by day, along your way,)The seeds of promise cast;(The seeds of promise cast,(the seeds of promise cast;)That ripened grain, from hill and plain,(That ripened grain, from hill and plain,)Be gathered home as last.(Be gathered home as last,)(be gathered home as last.)
- 2Tho’ sown in tears thru weary years,The seed will surely live;Tho’ great the cost it is not lost,For God will fruitage give.Then day by day along your way,(Then day by day, along your way,)The seeds of promise cast;(The seeds of promise cast,(the seeds of promise cast;)That ripened grain, from hill and plain,(That ripened grain, from hill and plain,)Be gathered home as last.(Be gathered home as last,)(be gathered home as last.)
- 3The harvest-home of God will come,And after toil and care;With joy untold your sheaves of gold,Will all be garnered there.Then day by day along your way,(Then day by day, along your way,)The seeds of promise cast;(The seeds of promise cast,(the seeds of promise cast;)That ripened grain, from hill and plain,(That ripened grain, from hill and plain,)Be gathered home as last.(Be gathered home as last,)(be gathered home as last.)
