Birth of a Reformation; Or, The Life and Labors of Daniel S. Warner

by A. L. Byers

As sowing seeds of peace and love.

But heaven's bright eternal years

Have bottled up our sowing tears;

There we shall greet in holy bliss

The souls we turned to righteousness.

Then sow the seed in every field,

And grace will bring the golden yield;

We soon shall sing the joyful song,

And shout the blessed harvest-home.

The song Who Will Suffer With Jesus? had its origin while the company were in the South in the winter of 1890–91. It was written at the time a mob assaulted the house in which Brother Warner was preaching and a sharp, flying missile struck him on the side of the face, causing it to bleed.
