The very humble vocalist Kelly Willard also has this song on one of her early collections. It is a haunting melody with dramatic call to the weary soul. Dotty

I first herd this song in Gloritea New Mexico in the late 60s at a Southern Baptist Summer Camp.

This wonderful song was sung by Larry Ford in one of the Bill Gaither Music DVD.... With his high Irish Tenor voice made this song even that much more wonderful that it caused me to tear up; LOVE THIS SONG!! GOD BLESS YOU FOR SHAREING!!

I was the original poster on this thread nearly three years ago. After checking back and getting the words to the hymn from mountainmama (and saying "thanks"), I never came back. Tonight I was wandering around and ended up back here. Amazing how God works! He used this site to get me the words to this hymn three years ago and is STILL using it for others today. He's just amazing!

I really like this song. But there is another song I need lyrics to. It is called We Come to Your Feast.

Kelly Willard's version can be found here:

http://www.kellywillard.com/music.html

It's on the album called "Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs". Beautiful rendition of the song. You can also buy the accompaniment track....not sure if there would be a demonstration song on it, though....looks like they're homemade tracks.

Google "Kelly Willard Follow Me" and you will find a YouTube video that you can listen to of this song.

The music is in a little songbook called "Country & Western Gospel Hymnal", Volume 1, published in the 70s. Here is a link where you can see what it looks like and all the songs it contains....some great ones! I think they're still sold in Christian bookstores.

Looking for this hymn Music:

The seed I have scattered in springtime with weeping
And watered with tears and with dews from on high,
Another will shout when the harvesters' reaping
Shall gather my grain in the sweet by and by.
Chorus: Over and over,yes deeper and deeper,
My heart is pierced through with life's sorrowing cry;
But the tears of the sower and the song's of the reaper
Shall mingle together in joy by and by

I think written1877? William Spence? Any help would be great!
