Cast thy Bread upon the Waters
Appears in 44 hymnals First Line: Cast thy bread upon the waters ye who have but scant supply Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Ye who have but scant supply;
Angel eyes will watch above it;—
You shall find it by and by,
He who in his righteous balance
Doth each human action weigh
Will your sacrifice remember,
Will your loving deeds repay.
2 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Poor and weary, worn with care;—
Often sitting in the shadow,—
Have you not a crumb to spare?
Can you not to those around you
Sing some little song of hope,
As you look with longing vision
Thro’ faith’s mighty telescope?
3 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Ye who have abundant store;
It may float on many a billow,
It may strand on many a shore.
You may think it lost forever,
But as sure as God is true,
In this life or in the other,
It will yet return to you.
4 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Far and wide your treasures strew,
Scatter it with willing fingers,
Laugh for joy to see it go!
For if you do closely keep it,
It will only drag you down;
If you love it more than Jesus,
It will keep you from your crown.
5 Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Waft it on with praying breath,
In some distant, doubtful moment
It may save a soul from death;
When you sleep in solemn silence,
‘Neath the morn and evening dew,
Stranger hands, which you have strengthened,
May strew lilies over you. Used With Tune: [Cast thy bread upon the waters]

Person Name: *** Composer of "[Cast thy bread upon the waters]" in Favorite Solos In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Cast thy bread upon the waters]" in Brotherhood Hymns William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.

John R. Sweney
1837 - 1899 Person Name: J. R. Sweney Composer of "[Cast thy bread upon the waters]" in Songs for the Ransomed John R. Sweney (1837-1899) was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and exhibited musical abilities at an early age. At nineteen he was studying with a German music teacher, leading a choir and glee club, and performing at children’s entertainments. By twenty-two he was teaching at a school in Dover, Delaware. Soon thereafter, he was put in charge of the band of the Third Delaware Regiment of the Union Army for the duration of the Civil War. After the war, he became Professor of Music at the Pennsylvania Military Academy, and director of Sweney’s Cornet Band. He eventually earned Bachelor and Doctor of Music degrees at the Academy.
Sweney began composing church music in 1871 and became well-known as a leader of large congregations. His appreciators stated “Sweney knows how to make a congregation sing” and “He had great power in arousing multitudes.” He also became director of music for a large Sunday school at the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia of which John Wanamaker was superintendent (Wanamaker was the founder of the first major department store in Philadelphia). In addition to his prolific output of hymn melodies and other compositions, Sweney edited or co-edited about sixty song collections, many in collaboration with William J. Kirkpatrick. Sweney died on April 10, 1899, and his memorial was widely attended and included a eulogy by Wanamaker.
