Scatter Seed.
BY GEORGE COOPER.

In the burrows Of thy life,
Scatter seed
Small may be thy spirit-field,
But a goodly crop twill yield;
Sow the kindly word and deed.
Scatter seed
Sun and shower aid thee now,
Scatter seed
Who can tell where grain may grow?
Winds are blowing to and fro,
Daily good thy simple creed,
Scatter seed
Up! the morning flies away,
Scatter seed!
Hand of thine must never tire,
Heart must keep its pure desire
While thy brothers faint and bleed,
Scatter seed
Though!thy work should seem to fail,
Scatter seed
Some may fall on stony ground;
Flower and blade are often found
In the clefts we little heed.
Scatter seed
Springing-time always dawns for thee
Scatter seed
Ope thy spirits golden store,
Stretch thy burrows more and more,
God will give to thee thy need.
