Sowing to Reap
Sowing to death or life,
1
Sowing to death or life,Sowing to reap!Sowing to joy or strife,Which shall we reap?Now let good seed be cast;Sowing will soon be past;Harvest will come at last;What shall we reap?
2
Now is the sowing time,Life's blooming spring;Age is the winter clime,When joys take wing.Sow to the Spirit now,Here make thy solemn vow;Unto thy Maker bow;Repentance bring.
3
Sad, sad, the reaping day,If ill is sown;Vain, vain to weep and pray,Hopeless and lone.Sowing for thee is o'er;Summer will come no more,Autumn will yield no store;Harvest is flown.
