Representative Text

1 As we’ve sown so shall we reap,
When the harvest time appears,
Whether it be joy and gladness, weal or woe,
This the thought for us to keep,
As through life we onward move,
We shall gather at the harvest what we sow.

Refrain:
On, on, ever to the harvest,
Sowing either weal or woe,
This the thought for us to keep,
As thro’ life we onward move,
We shall gather at the harvest what we sow.

2 As we’ve sown so shall we reap,
In the tide of coming years,
Reaping fruits of sinful life, or time well-spent,
Then this thought in view still keep,
While the hours are going by,
Shall we sow unholy strife or sweet content? [Refrain]

3 As we’ve sown so shall we reap,
When the fields are ready white,
And the Master calls for reapers here below,
Let us then this thought still keep,
When the trumpet call is heard,
Shall we ladened well, or empty handed go? [Refrain]
