THE MIRACULOUS HARVEST

1. Oh, Joseph, Mary, and Jesus

Were travelling for the west;

When Mary grew a-weary

She might sit down and rest.

2. They travelled further and further,

The weather being so warm,

Till they came unto a husbandman

A-sowing of his corn.

3. “Come, husbandman,” cried Jesus,

“Cast all your seed away,

And carry home as ripened corn

What you have sowed this day.

4. “To keep your wife and family

From sorrow, grief, and pain,

And keep Christ in remembrance

Till seed-time comes again.”
