[Verse 1]
All through life you've sown good seed,
Walking on in righteous deed;
Though they sprang and gave no sign
Of the fruit in the coming time.
You have thought your toil was vain,
Spent in sorrow, spent in pain;
Yet take heart and hear this word:
Hope remains in Christ the Lord.
[Chorus]
You have sown in tears of pain,
You have not sown all in vain;
Seeds of righteousness you've sown,
Though with sighing and with groaning.
God Almighty knows your heart,
Sees your labour, every part;
Do not faint nor turn away,
You shall reap in God's own day.
[Verse 2]
Every life we live in God
Walks the holy, narrow road;
It is like the sower's hand
Casting seed at God's command.
Such a seed bears fruit not fast,
For eternal joys that last;
You have sown no worthless thing,
Sure reward the Lord will bring.
[Chorus]
You have sown in tears of pain,
You have not sown all in vain;
Seeds of righteousness you've sown,
Though with sighing and with groaning.
God Almighty knows your heart,
Sees your labour, every part;
Do not faint nor turn away,
You shall reap in God's own day.
[Verse 3]
All the fathers of the old
Sowed in tears, yet kept the fold;
Doing all the will of God,
Though through thorns their feet had trodden.
They endured this world's deep strife,
Looking for eternal life;
Now their names are kept with fame,
Written bright in honour's flame.
[Chorus]
You have sown in tears of pain,
You have not sown all in vain;
Seeds of righteousness you've sown,
Though with sighing and with groaning.
God Almighty knows your heart,
Sees your labour, every part;
Do not faint nor turn away,
You shall reap in God's own day.
[Verse 4]
Moses too stands as a witness.
Leading Israel through the lands;
In the desert waste and wide,
He became their faithful guide.
Forty years with patient care,
All their burdens he did bear;
Though he suffered grief and loss,
Still, he walked the holy course.
[Chorus]
You have sown in tears of pain,
You have not sown all in vain;
Seeds of righteousness you've sown,
Though with sighing and with groaning.
God Almighty knows your heart,
Sees your labour, every part;
Do not faint nor turn away,
You shall reap in God's own day.
[Final Chorus]
You have sown in tears of pain,
You have not sown all in vain;
Seeds of righteousness you've sown,
Though with sighing and with groaning.
God Almighty knows your heart,
Sees your labour, every part;
Do not faint nor turn away,
You shall reap in God's own day.
