19. Who’ll Be Sowing?

1 Who’ll be sowing, who’ll be sowing,
Sowing precious golden grain,
In the valley, on the hillside,
Wide across the fertile plain?

Refrain:
Who’ll be sowing, who’ll be sowing,
Who’ll be wowing precious golden grain?
Sowing, reaping, sowing, reaping,
Sowing, reaping golden grain?

2 Who’ll be sowing seeds of kindness
Right and left along the way,
At the home hearth, by the sick couch,
Here and there where’er we stray? [Refrain]

3 Who’ll be sowing deeds of mercy,
Sowing through life’s checkered vale,
Love and honor, virtue, goodness,
Mighty truth that must prevail? [Refrain]

4 May we all be sowing, reaping,
Only best of life’s fair yield,
So that, in the final harvest,
We may reap in heaven’s bright field. [Refrain]
