Seeds of Promise by Fredrick Augustus Fillmore — Lyrics
About Seeds of Promise
"Seeds of Promise" is a deeply encouraging hymn that speaks to the heart of Christian service and perseverance. With its gentle, flowing melody, the song draws on the biblical metaphor of sowing and reaping. It reminds the congregation that every act of love and every tear shed in faith are like seeds planted in fertile soil, destined to yield a joyful harvest.
In the choir loft, we often bring this piece out during the Offertory or as a Recessional hymn. The verses build a beautiful narrative of trust—moving from the daily scattering of "loving deeds" to the ultimate "harvest-home of God." The refrain, with its echoing harmony parts in the lower voices, gives the choir a chance to swell with conviction, sending the people forth with the reassuring promise that their earthly toil will finally "be gathered home at last."
