As we journey on our pathway,
Which thro’ life’s great valley leads,
Let us scatter seeds of kindness,
Strew our path with loving deeds.
Refrain
We pass this way but once;
We pass this way but once;
Let us scatter seeds of kindness,
For we pass this way but once.
Let us help the weary pilgrim,
Whom we meet upon our way,
With a kindly word and action,
With a loving deed today.
Refrain
Let us not delay our actions,
Thoughtless for another day;
There are souls that must be rescued;
Let us help them while we may.
