Sheet music

  1. 1Sowing 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.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.
  2. 2Sowing 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.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.
  3. 3Go 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.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.
