What Shall the Harvest Be?

Author: D. Haydn Lloyd Appears in 135 hymnals First Line: Sowing their seed by the dawn-light fair Refrain First Line: Sown in the darkness or sown in the light Lyrics: 1 Sowing their seed by the dawn-light fair, Sowing their seed by the noontide glare, Sowing their seed by the fading light, Sowing their seed in the solemn night, Oh, what shall the harvest be? Oh, what shall the harvest be? Chorus: Sown in the darkness or sown in the light, Sown in our weakness or sown in our might, Gathered in time or eternity, Sure, ah sure, will the harvest be. 2 Sowing their seed by the wayside high, Sowing their seed on the rocks to die, Sowing their seed where the thorns will spoil, Sowing their seed in the fertile soil, Oh, what shall the harvest be? Oh, what shall the harvest be? [Chorus] 3 Sowing the seed of a lingering pain, Sowing the seed of a maddened brain, Sowing the seed of a tarnished name, Sowing the seed of eternal shame-- Ah, sure will the harvest be! Ah, sure will the harvest be! [Chorus] 4 Sowing their seed with an aching heart, Sowing their seed while the tear-drops start, Sowing in hope till the reapers come, Gladly to gather the harvest home, Oh, what shall the harvest be? Oh, what shall the harvest be? [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Sowing their seed by the dawn-light fair] Text Sources: From "The Prize."
