Spiritualist Hymnal (3rd ed.) ‎#41

41. Gathering Up the Sheaves

1 In earth's ripening harvest, toiling day by day
Heeding not the shadows bending o'er the way;
But content with reaping what the present gives,
We are busy toilers gathering up the sheaves.

Refrain:
Gathering up the sheaves, gathering up the sheaves;
We are busy toilers gathering up the sheaves.
Gathering up the sheaves, gathering up the sheaves;
We are busy toilers gathering up the sheaves.

2 Sometimes on the mountain in the morning's glow;
Sometimes in the valley when the sun is low;
Sometimes 'mid rejoicing we the grain receive,
Sometimes with heart aching, gathering up the sheaves. [Refrain]
