467. Bringing In the Sheaves

1 Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noon-tide and the dewy eve,
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,
We shall come rejoicing,
bringing in the sheaves.
Bringing in the sheaves,
Bringing in the sheaves,
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 labors ended -
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. [Chorus]

3 Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master,
Tho the loss sustained our spirit often grieves;
When our weepint's over He will bid us welcome -
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. [Chorus]
