1 Are you sowing, daily sowing,
All along life’s changeful way?
Precious seeds beside all waters,
Do you scatter day by day?

Chorus:
Are you sowing for the Master?
You shall reap in joy or tears,
Whatsoever you are sowing,
When the harvest-time appears.

2 Are you sowing seeds of kindness,
With a lavish, loving hand?
Desert wastes it soon with brighten
With a harvest rich and grand. [Chorus]

3 Are you sowing, daily trusting
All the increase unto God?
He will bless you if you scatter
Seeds of love and truth abroad. [Chorus]
