4180 The Songs of the Reaper

The seed I have scattered in springtime with weeping,

And watered with tears and with dews from on high;

Another may shout when the harvester’s reaping,

Shall gather my grain in the “sweet by and by.”

Another may reap what in springtime I’ve planted,

Another rejoice in the fruit of my pain,

Not knowing my tears when in summer I fainted

While toiling sad-hearted in the sunshine and rain.

The thorns will have choked and the summers suns blasted

The most of the seed which in springtime I’ve sown;

But the Lord Who has watched while my weary toil lasted

Will give me a harvest for what I have done.
