Cast Thy Bread Upon the Water

Verse 1

Cast thy bread upon the water, ’Twill return in many days; Crumbs of truth for Jesus scatter, All along thy pilgrim ways.

Chorus

Cast thy bread upon the water, It will soon return again; Cast thy bread upon the water, Jesus says ’tis not in vain.

Verse 2

Cast thy bread upon the water, Christ will watch the rolling wave, As it ripples slowly onward, To the soul He seeks to save.

Verse 3

Cast thy bread upon the water, Let it spread from pole to pole; And the prayers of patient toilers, Soon will yield some precious soul.

Verse 4

Cast thy bread upon the water, Trusting it is not in vain, For the lost and wand’ring sinner, May be gathered back again.
