Sowing the Seed

Eden Reeder Latta • English

Primary Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:6

Verse 1

Sowing the seed of truth, Patiently on we go, Sowing it here and there, Knowing not which will grow; Jesus beholds it fall, He will the work record; Patiently sow the seed, Leaving it with the Lord.

Chorus

Sowing the precious seed, Patiently on we go, Sowing it here, sowing it there, Knowing not which will grow.

Verse 2

Sowing at early dawn, Sowing in noontide ray, Scattering still at eve, After the busy day; Sowing the Word of life In the immortal soul, Wholly by sin undone, Freely by grace made whole.

Chorus

Sowing the precious seed, Patiently on we go, Sowing it here, sowing it there, Knowing not which will grow.

Verse 3

Sowing from year to year, Ever till life is past; Knowing that we shall reap Glorious fruit at last; Jesus beholds it fall, He will our work reward; Patiently sow the seed, Leaving it with the Lord.

Chorus

Sowing the precious seed, Patiently on we go, Sowing it here, sowing it there, Knowing not which will grow.
