It Scattereth, Yet Increaseth

By DELWIN REES BUCKNER

DELWIN REES BUCKNER
DIVIDE the loaf in portions with the knife, For who but God can tell what may befall? Ere night it may be thou who needs must call Upon thy neighbor for sustaining life. A good deed done is never, never lost; Though it be spent, it still doth truly earn. Bread cast upon the waters will return, Though many days upon the billows tossed. But that which, scattered, doth the most increase Is God's own Word of life, which, in the heart, Is planted, grows, and yields its hundredfold, And unto hungry souls it brings such peace As only God's own Spirit can impart, A blessing of more worth than mines of gold.
