1.He that goeth forth with weeping,Bearing precious seed in love,Never tiring, never sleeping,Findeth mercy from above.Chorus:Lo, the scene of verdure bright'ning!See the rising grain appear;Look! the waving fields are whit'ning,For the harvest time is near.2.Soft descend the dews of heaven,Bright the rays celestial shine;Precious fruits will thus be givenThro' an influence all divine. [Chorus]3.Sow thy seed, be never weary,Let no fears thy soul annoy;Be the prospect ne'er so dreary,Thou shalt reap the fruits of joy. [Chorus]
