LIFE'S JOURNEY
When the seeds that we have scattered
 In the furrows of the years,
Shall be ripened for the harvest,
 All their stores of hopes and fears.

When the master bids us number
 All the moments that have flown,
Will it be a joyful harvest
 When we reap what we have sown?

We must scatter seeds of kindness,
 As through life's journey stroll.
Precious dews of grace are falling,
 To reward our faithful toil.

Shall we reap with joy or sadness
 All the harvest of the soul,
And be glad to meet our Saviour,
 Whom we long ago have known?

We are sowing seeds to blossom,
 We shall reap what we have sown,
In that grand and beautiful kingdom
 That is soon to be our home.
