We must gather by and by.

Spring to life and choke the grain?
Scatter the seed ‘mid earnest cultivation,
Honest work for honest gain. [Refrain]

At the “harvest home” above. [Refrain] Topics: Activity and Work; Sowing and Reaping Languages: English Tune Title: [Sowing the seed, preparing for the harvest]
