What Are You Sowing, Sinner?

Verse 1

What are you sowing, sinner, Carelessly, heedlessly? Scattering seeds of folly? Sure will the reaping be.

Chorus

Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping, Sowing and reaping, sad ’twill be; Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping, Gath’ring the tares for eternity.

Verse 2

Sowing the seeds of malice, Hatred, and bitterness, Reaping with tears your harvest— Sorrow and wretchedness.

Verse 3

Sowing of pride and passion, Pleasure and revelry, Reaping of wrath and torment Through all eternity.

Verse 4

Sowing of sin, remember, This shall your harvest be— Banished from God and heaven, Lost through eternity.
