Scattering precious seed by the wayside

Scattering precious seed by the wayside,
Scattering precious seed by the hillside;
Scattering precious seed o’er the field wide,
Scattering precious seed by the way.

Scattering precious seed for the growing,
Scattering precious seed freely sowing;
Scattering precious seed, trusting, knowing,
Surely the Lord will send it the rain.

Scattering precious seed, doubting never,
Scattering precious seed, trusting ever;
Sowing the word with pray’r and endeavor,
Trusting the Lord for growth and for yield.

Refrain
Sowing in the morning,
Sowing at the noontide;
Sowing in the evening,
Sowing the precious seed by the way.
