The Heavenly Sowing

By H. Bonar

Sower divine! Sow the good seed in me, Seed for eternity. 'Tis a rough, barren soil, Yet by thy care and toil, Make it a fruitful field An hundredfold to yield. Sower divine, Plow up this heart of mine!
Sower divine! Quit not this wretched field Till thou hast made it yield; Sow thou by day and night, In darkness and in light. Stay not thy hand, but sow; Then shall the harvest grow. Sower divine, Sow deep this heart of mine!
Sower divine! Let not this barren clay Lead thee to turn away; Let not my fruitlessness Provoke thee not to bless; Let not this field be dry, Refresh it from on high. Sower divine, Water this heart of mine!
—H. Bonar.
