(BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES )

Knowles Shaw

George A. Minor

1. 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. (Last verse:Amen.)
   
2. 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
   
3. Going forth with 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.
   Refrain
