| He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. (2 Cor. 9:6) |
| Being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. (2 Cor. 9:11) |
Lord, we Thy sowers, at the set of sun,
Come back to Thee to tell of sowing done;
And while the seed lies hidden in the ground,
O God of hope, let hope in us abound. |
Seed springeth up, we know not when nor how;
It is enough that Thou, O Lord, dost know;
To Thee the glory when it does appear —
Blade, ear, and then the full corn in the ear. |
