“We all must speak for Jesus,
Where’er our lot may fall,
To brothers, sisters, neighbors,
In cottage and in hall.”
“We all must speak for Jesus,
To show how much we owe
To Him who died to says us
From death and endless woe.”
“Broadcast thy seed!
Although some portion may be found.
To fall on uncongenial ground,
Where sand, or shard, or stone may stay
Its coming into light of day;
Or when it comes, some pestilent air
May make it droop and wither there―
Be not discouraged; some will find
Congenial soil, and gentle wind,
Refreshing dew and ripening shower,
To bring it into beauteous flower,
From flower to fruit, to glad thine eyes,
And fill thy soul with sweet surprise.
Do good, and God will bless thy deed―
Broadcast thy seed!”
