We Are Little Gleaners

Representative Text

1 We are little gleaners,
Little we can do;
Yet, in humble corners,
We can labor too.

Chorus:
We are little gleaners,
Singing on our way;
We are little gleaners,
Toiling all the day.

2 We are little gleaners,
Small the sheaves we bind;
Yet we bear the treasures
Others leave behind. [Chorus]

3 We are little gleaners,
Daily we shall see,
Little duties left us,
Fit for you and me. [Chorus]
