The Morning Star ‎#82

82. Bringing in the sheaves

1 Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noontide 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 golden sheaves,
Bringing in the golden sheaves,
Waiting for the harvest and the time of reaping,
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 Go, then, even weeping, sowing for the Master,
Tho' 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. [Chorus]
