Be careful what you sow,
For seed will surely grow;
The dew will fall, the rain will splash,
The clouds grow dark, the lightning flash;
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap good seed tomorrow;
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap with joy tomorrow.

Refrain

Be careful what you sow,
For seed will surely grow;
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap with joy tomorrow.

Be careful what you sow,
For seed will surely grow;
Where it may fall, you cannot know,
In sun or shade, ’twill surely grow;
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap good seed tomorrow;
And he who sows good seed today,
Shall reap with joy tomorrow.

Refrain

Be careful what you sow,
The weed you plant will grow;
The scattered seed, from thoughtless hand,
Must gathered be, by God’s command;
And he who sows wild oats today,
Must reap the crop tomorrow;
And he who sows wild oats today,
Shall reap with tears tomorrow.

Refrain

Then let us sow good deeds,
And not the briars and weeds;
Then harvest time its joys shall bring,
And when we reap, our hearts shall sing;
And he who sows good seed today
Shall reap good seed tomorrow;
And he who sows good seed today
Shall reap good seed tomorrow.

Refrain
