Be Not Deceived

Be not de­ceived; each soul shall reap

Its har­vest soon or late;

So now thy seed

the field is wide;

The world is thine es­tate.

Be not de­ceived

be not de­ceived

God is not mocked;

For what­so­ev­er a man sow­eth

Whatsoever a man sow­eth

That shall he al­so reap

That shall he al­so reap.

So ev­il deeds with care­less hand

And one sad day be­hold

Thy gar­ner filled with blight­ed hopes

And woes a hun­dred fold.

So seeds of faith and hope and love

Perchance with fall­ing tears

A har­vest home of peace and joy

Will crown the work of years.

God’s law will stand for­ev­er­more

The law His love made known—

From out the har­vest field of life

We reap as we have sown.
