Lyrics:

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 
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves 
We shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves 

Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows 
Fearing neither clouds nor winter's chilling breeze 
By and by the harvest and the labored end 
We shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves 

Going forth with weeping, sowing for the master 
Tho' the loss sustains our spirit often grieves 
When our weeping's over, He will bid us welcome 
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
