¶Lyrics / Text

1 Sow in the morn thy seed, At eve hold not thy hand; To doubt and fear give thou no heed, Broadcast it o’er the land. 2 Beside all waters sow, The highway furrows stock, Drop it where thorns and thistles grow, Scatter it on the rock. 3 The good, the fruitful ground Expect not, here nor there; O’er hill and dale, by plots ‘tis found: Go forth, then everywhere. 4 And duly shall appear, In verdure, beauty, strength, The tender blade, the stalk, the ear, And the full corn at length. 5 Thou canst not toil in vain; Cold, heat, and moist, and dry, Shall foster and mature the grain For garners in the sky. 6 Thence, when the glorious end, The day of God is come, The angels reapers shall descend, And heaven cry, “Harvest Home.”
