He That Goeth Forth and Weepeth

"He that goeth forth and weepeth
Bearing precious seed;
Doubtless shall return rejoicing
Bringing sheaves indeed.

Now it is the time of sowing,
Now the time of tears:
Then the time of joyful reaping
Through the glorious years.

Sure and faithful stands the promise
Spoken by our God;
Nothing can that promise alter
For it is His Word.

They that toil mid tears and sighing,
Sowing whilst they weep,
Soon shall change their tears to singing
And rejoicing reap.

Lord and Master of the harvest,
May we faithful be!
Thine will be the glorious reaping
Through eternity."
