369. Bringing in the Sheaves

G                                      C
Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
G                      D
Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve,
G                               G7      C
Waiting for the harvest and the time of reaping –
G                        D7              G
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

G                        C               G
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
G                                 A7     D
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.
G                        C               G
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
G                        D7              G
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 3]
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.
