Loyal and True

While there’s a lit­tle seed for me to sow

While there’s a lit­tle field for me to mow

Let me awake and sow­ing be

Let me abroad and mow­ing be

For

oh

these days that go so quick­ly by

Tell of the reap­ing of eter­ni­ty.

Let me a sow­er be

let me a mow­er be—

And to our great com­mand­er loy­al be and true;

Oh

let me a sow­er be

let me a mow­er be

Ready to do what­ev­er I may find to do.

While there is good that ev­en I may preach

While there’s a soul that ev­en I may teach

I can an ear­nest preach­er be

A true and loy­al teach­er be

And ev­ery­where sal­va­tion’s joys de­clare

As I have free­ly gained to free­ly share.

Let me a preach­er be

let me a teach­er be—

And to our great com­mand­er loy­al be and true;

O let me a preach­er be

let me a teach­er be

Ready to do what­ev­er I may find to do.

While there’s a lit­tle song that I can sing

While there’s a lit­tle joy that I can bring

O let me ev­er sing­ing be

And joy and com­fort bring­ing be

And so ful­fill­ing well my Lord’s be­hest

In Him shall ev­ery wor­thy deed be blest.

Then let me ev­er sing

joy to some heart to bring

And to our great com­mand­er loy­al be and true;

Oh then let me ev­er sing

joy to some heart to bring

Ready to do what­ev­er I may find to do.
