VERSE 1

C                                      F 
Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,

C                              G 
sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;

C                                        F 
waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,

C                        G7              C 
we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

REFRAIN 

C                        F               C 
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,

                                  D7     G 
we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

C                        F               C 
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,

                         G7              C 
we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

VERSE 2

C                                     F 
Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows,

C                                   G 
fearing neither clouds nor winter's chilling breeze;

C                                    F 
by and by the harvest, and the labor ended,

C                        G7              C 
we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

REFRAIN

we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

C                        F               C 
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,

                         G7              C 
we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

VERSE 3

C                                        F 
Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master,

C                                    G 
though the loss sustained our spirit often grieves;

C                                       F 
when our weeping's over, he will bid us welcome,

C                        G7              C 
we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

REFRAIN 

C                        F               C 
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,

                                  D7     G 
we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

C                        F               C 
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,

                         G7              C 
we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.
