[John C. Montgomery]

Dear Friends, 



Perhaps the most famous and beloved "Methodist" preacher in Montana was William Wesley Van Orsdale -better known as "Brother Van" - when he first arrived in Montana (ca. 1872), he did his preaching in bar rooms. The lyrics are attributed to him.

The Songs of the Reaper 

The seeds I have scattered in springtime with weeping, 
And watered with tears and with dews from on high; 
Another may shout when the harvester's reaping, 
Shall gather my grain in the "sweet by and by". 

Refrain; 
Over and over, yes, deeper and deeper 
My heart is pierced through with life's sorrowing cry, 
But the songs of the sower and the songs of the reaper 
Shall mingle together in joy by and by. 
By and by, by and by, 
By and by, by and by, 
Yes the songs of the sower and the songs of the reaper shall mingle together in joy by and by. 

Another may reap what in springtime I've planted, 
Another rejoice in the fruit of my pain, 
Not knowing my tears when in summer I fainted 
While toiling sad-hearted in sunshine and rain. 

Refrain 

The thorns will have choked and the summer's sun blasted 
The most of the seed which in summer I've sown. 
But the Lord Who has watched while my weary toil lasted 
Will give me a harvest for what I have done.
