What are you sowing, sinner,
Carelessly, heedlessly?
Scattering seeds of folly?
Sure will the reaping be.
Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping,
Sowing and reaping, sad ’twill be;
Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping,
Gath’ring the tares for eternity.
Sowing the seeds of malice,
Hatred, and bitterness,
Reaping with tears your harvest—
Sorrow and wretchedness.
Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping,
Sowing and reaping, sad ’twill be;
Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping,
Gath’ring the tares for eternity.
Sowing of pride and passion,
Pleasure and revelry,
Reaping of wrath and torment
Through all eternity.
Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping,
Sowing and reaping, sad ’twill be;
Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping,
Gath’ring the tares for eternity.
Sowing of sin, remember,
This shall your harvest be—
Banished from God and heaven,
Lost through eternity.
Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping,
Sowing and reaping, sad ’twill be;
Sowing and reaping, sowing and reaping,
Gath’ring the tares for eternity.
