Lyics

Bear precious seed, and go 
Forth to thy work of toil.
Where'er th'unerring Master's hand
Shall designate the soil.


Perchance in native clime,
Perchance beyond the sea;
Where'er his wisdom marks the field,
That is the place for thee.


Though weeping marks the path,
And grief thy heart assail,
Go fearless forth, and trust in Him
Whose promise cannot fail.


Sow precious seed, in hope
Its blessed fruits to see
In God's own good appointed time:
That is the time for thee.
