”Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.”  Eccl. 11:1
“In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand.”  Eccl. 11:6


”Upon the waters cast your bread”,
And boldly ask the Lord
To breathe upon the word you spread
Like showers He´s outpoured!

The field may be in desert land
Of burning sun and heat,
But don´t, my friend, withhold your hand,
Just talk to those you meet!

You never know what God can do
When you give out in faith
A tract to one you never knew
Today on May the eighth!

Lo, maybe after many days
The sower´s fruit you´ll see,
To Jesus then be all the praise,
He sinners still sets free!

Rejoice, rejoice, my sowing friend,
Be glad if others reap
What you have sown, for in the end
You all for joy will leap!

“Upon the waters cast your bread”,
God´s clouds are full of rain,
And don´t forget what He has said,
Your bread you´ll find again!
