Bringing in the Sheaves

Sowing in the morn­ing

sow­ing seeds of kind­ness

Sowing in the noon­tide and the dewy eve;

Waiting for the har­vest

and the time of reap­ing

We shall come re­joic­ing

bring­ing in the sheaves.

Bringing in the sheaves

bring­ing in the sheaves

We shall come re­joic­ing

bring­ing in the sheaves

Bringing in the sheaves

bring­ing in the sheaves

We shall come re­joic­ing

bring­ing in the sheaves

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.

Going forth with weep­ing

sow­ing for the Mas­ter

Though the loss sus­tained our Spir­it oft­en grieves;

When our weep­ing’s ov­er

He will bid us wel­come

We shall come re­joic­ing

bring­ing in the sheaves.
