Sowing In Tears, Reaping In Joy
By George Thurlow
Sowing in tears,
Reaping in joy.
Precious seeds
The saints deploy.
Plowman o'er reaper
Soon overtakes.
Souls to harvest,
The hour late.
Watering the Word
With prayers and tears.
New names in heaven,
The angels cheer.
White are the fields,
Short grow the days.
Christians work
Without delay.

Psalm 126:5
"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."
Amos 9:13
"Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of the grapes him that soweth the seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt."
