Lyrics
Verse 1: Sowing the seed by the daylight fair, Sowing the seed by the noonday glare, Sowing the seed by the fading light, Sowing the seed in the solemn night; O, what shall the harvest be? O, what shall the harvest be?
Verse 2: Sowing the seed by the wayside high, Sowing the seed on the rocks to die, Sowing the seed where the thorns will spoil, Sowing the seed in the fertile soil; O, what shall the harvest be? O, what shall the harvest be?
Verse 3: Sowing the seed of a ling’ring pain, Sowing the seed of a maddened brain, Sowing the seed of a tarnished name, Sowing the seed of eternal shane; O, what shall the harvest be? O, what shall the harvest be?
Verse 4: Sowing the seed with an aching heart, Sowing the seed while the teardrops start; Sowing in hope till the reapers come, Gladly to gather the harvest home; O, what shall the harvest be? O, what shall the harvest be?
Chorus: Sown in the darkness or sown in the light, Sown in our weakness or sown in our might, Gathered in time or eternity, Sure, ah, sure will the harvest be.
