"He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him" (Psalm 126:6). "Now the man out of whom the devils departed besought Him that he might be with Him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, Return to thine own house, and show how great things God hath done unto thee" (Luke 8:38,39).
We ought to go with precious seed
To lost and straying sheep,
As Christ in us supplies this need:
A heart prepared to weep.
How great the things that God has done
Since Christ has entered in!
How great our joy when God the Son
Delivered us from sin!
Yet surely with His joy is grief,
And rightly it is so,
For those yet lost in unbelief,
To whom we ought to go.
Now send us, Lord, into Your fields,
And in us, Lord, employ
Your love that weeps and doubtless yields
A harvest full of joy!
