SOWINGS, by                    
First Line: The master took some little seeds
Last Line: Are threaded through my work?
Subject(s): Faith; Belief; Creed


The Master took some little seeds
To tell how souls may grow,
And used the unseen leaven
His simple truth to show.

We plant His holy Word within
The sinful human heart,
But leave it to its growing
When we have done our part.

All nature sows with confidence
Her seeds o'er hill and dale:
We look for fruitful harvests;
These harvests seldom fail.

Then why should I, a mortal man,
My duty ever shirk,
When God's eternal doings
Are threaded through my work?
