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.

:Refrain:

: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.

:Refrain

: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.{{cite web |url=https://hymnary.org/hymn/NNBH2001/429 |title=429. Bringing In the Sheaves |publisher=Harry Plantinga |access-date=2020-09-09 }}
