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, ’till 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 so 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
