Author: Milton McKiney Hymnal: GTFS1904 #87 (1904) Tune Title: [All silently, so silently] First Line: All silently, so silently Lyrics: 1 All silently, so silently,
The harvest sown today,
Is breaking from a thousand fields—
God’s planters, plant away.
2 For other harvests earth may have,
Yet they shall soon decay;
Look up, the rains of sowing fall,
God’s planters, plant away.
3 Sow swiftly, surely, passing not
The windblown, rocky way;
In God’s own time the yield will come,
God’s planters, plant away.
4 The purple light of early dawn
Can never brook delay,
No less the morn of sowing wait,
God’s planters, plant away.
