Lyrics

Verse 1
Sowing in the morn­ing, sow­ing seeds of kind­ness, (Ecc. 11:6, Gal. 6:8)
Sowing in the noon­tide and the dewy eve;
Waiting for the har­vest, and the time of reap­ing, (Gal. 6:9)
We shall come re­joic­ing, bring­ing in the sheaves. (Ps. 126:6, Gal. 6:7)

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, (Ps. 126:6)

Verse 2
Sowing in the sun­shine, sow­ing in the sha­dows,
Fearing nei­ther clouds nor win­ter’s chill­ing breeze; (Ecc. 11:4)
By and by the har­vest, and the la­bor end­ed, (Rev. 14:13)
We shall come re­joic­ing, bring­ing in the sheaves.

Verse 3
Going forth with weep­ing, sow­ing for the Mas­ter, (Ps. 126:5)
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.
