BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES
1. Sowing in the morning, sowing
seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noon tide and the
dewy eves;
Waiting for the harvest and the time
of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing
in the sheaves.
Chorus:
Bringing in the sheaves, }
Bringing in the sheaves, }2ce
We shall come rejoicing, bringing
in the sheaves. }
2. Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in
the shadows,
Fearing neither clouds nor winter’s
chilling breeze;
By and by the harvest, and the labor
ended.
We shall come rejoicing, bringing
in the sheaves.
3. Go then ever, weeping, sowing for
the Master,
Tho’ the loss sustained our spirit is
often grieves;
When our weeping’s over,
He will bid us welcome.
We shall come rejoicing, bringing
in the sheaves.
