1249. Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness

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.

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.

2 Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows,
Fearing neither clouds nor winter's chilling breeze;
By the by the harvest, and the labor ended,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
