Representative Text

1 O brother, as you journey
Along your earthly way,
The seeds of good or evil
You’re sowing every day.

Refrain:
Take heed, take heed, O brother dear,
‘Tis not for time alone,
But in the life that’s coming
You’ll reap as you have sown.

2 O brother, pray consider
What kind of seed you sow,
For soon there’ll be a harvest
Of gladness or of woe. [Refrain]

3 Oh, let us freely scatter
The seeds of truth and love,
And bright will be the fruitage
In that fair land above. [Refrain]
