Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.5 #27 (1896) First Line: Sowing the seed in the morning light Lyrics: 1 Sowing the seed in the morning light, Sowing at noontide’s ray; Sowing, still sowing when cometh nigh, Sowing along life’s way. Refrain: Sowing for the reaping, Reaping by and by, Oh, be careful what you sow, For the seed will surely grow, And the reaping time will come by and by. 2 Sowing the seed in the sunlight fair, Sowing where shadows fall; Sowing the good or the bad with care, Sowing beyond recall. [Refrain] 3 Sowing the seed in the world’s mad strife, Tho’tless of what will grow; Sowing the seed of a sinful life, Sowing the seed of woe. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Sowing the seed in the morning light]
