Over and over, yes, deeper and deeper
My heart is pierced thro' With life's sorrowing cry, But the tears of the sower And songs of the reaper Shall mingle together in joy by and by. By and by, by and by, by and by, by and by, Yes the tears of the sower And songs of the reaper Shall mingle together in joy by and by.
The seed I have scattered
In springtime with weeping, And watered with tears And with dews from on high; Another may shout when the Harvester's reaping, Shall gather my grain In the sweet by and by.
Another may reap what in
Spring time I've planted, Another rejoice in the Fruit of my pain, Not knowing my tears when In summer I fainted While toiling sad-hearted In sunshine and rain.
The thorns will have choked
And the summer suns blasted The most of the seed which in Spring-time I've sown; But the Lord who has watched While my weary toil lasted Will give me a harvest For what I have done.
The seed I have scattered
In springtime with weeping, All lyrics, arrangements, music are the copyright of their respective owners and are provided here only to praise God and for educational purposes. |
