EN 2038 Cast Thy Bread upon the Waters
Eccl.11.1
Versi Version 1
1
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Thinking not ’tis thrown away;
God Himself saith, thou shalt gather
It again some future day.
2
Cast thy bread upon the waters;
Wildly though the billows roll,
They but aid thee as thou toilest
Truth to spread from pole to pole.
3
As the seed, by billows floated,
To some distant island lone,
So to human souls benighted,
That thou flingest may be borne.
4
Cast thy bread upon the waters,
Why wilt thou still doubting stand?
Bounteous shall God send the harvest
If thou sowest with liberal hand.
