Lyrics
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
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves *2
2. Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows,
Fearing neither clouds now winter’s chilling breeze;
By and by the harvest and the labor ended
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
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
