LyicsSowing 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, brining in the sheaves.-CHO.
CHO.- Bringing in the golden sheaves,
Bringing in the golden sheaves,
Wait-ing for the har-vest, and the time of reaping-
We shall come re-joic-ing, bringing in the sheaves.
Go and tell the nations now in heathen blindness;
Tell them Jesus died-now no excuse he leaves;
Bid them come to Jesus-thus prepare the harvest;
You shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.-CHO.
Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows;
Fearing neither clouds nor winter's chilling breeze;
By and by the harvest, and, our labors ended,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.-CHO.
