  Hello everyone.  Ken is looking for words and music to an old song we sang once upon a time.  The verse begins "The Seed I have scattered" and the chorus is "Over and Over and Deeper and Deeper".  We can't seem to locate  this in any resource we have available.  Any suggestions?

  The seed 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 tears of the sower and 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 tears of the sower and 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 the sunshine and rain.

  Refrain

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

  Refrain
