Sowing in Tears

Verse 1

Sowing in sadness through long, weary years Scattering seed with the fast falling tears; O how we long for the glad harvest day, When sheaves are gathered, and tears wiped away!

Chorus

Sowing in tears through long, weary years; Wait, only wait, till the harvest appears.

Verse 2

Sowing good seed as in sadness we go; Sure is the promise, to reap what we sow; Tears only water the grain that we cast, God will bestow us the increase at last.

Verse 3

Sow to the Spirit, and life we shall reap, Life everlasting, where none ever weep; Heaven will yield us a harvest of peace, When all the labors of summer shall cease.
