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,
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 labor
ended,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing
in the sheaves.
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing
in the sheaves,
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing
in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing
in the sheaves.
Going forth with weeping, sowing
for the Master,
Though the loss sustained our spirit
often grieves;
When our weeping's over, He will bid us welcome,
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.
"Bringing in
the Sheaves" is a popular
American Gospel song used almost exclusively by Protestant Christians (though the content is not specifically Protestant in
nature). The lyrics were written in 1874 by Knowles Shaw, who was inspired by Psalm 126:6, "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing
precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves
with him." Shaw also wrote music for these words, but they are
now usually set to a tune by George Minor, written in 1880.
Knowles Shaw (1834-1878),
a name familiar in many western households--was born near New London, in Morgan
Township, on the 13th of October, 1834. His mother's maiden name was Huldah
Griffin, and by both of his parents he was of Scottish extraction. His early
life was spent in Rush County, Indiana, where he first began to play the
violin, furnishing the music for many a dance. While the ball was going on he
was converted, ceasing to play in the middle of the piece he was performing.
Very soon thereafter he entered the ministry of the Christian Church. On the
11th of January, 1855, he married Miss Martha Finley. Most of his time after
entering the ministry was spent in the West and South, and on account of his
wonderful vocal powers he was called the "singing
evangelist."
As
a singer he was considered, in some respects, equal to Sankey and Bliss.
reporters of the press al spoke of his singing as something wonderful. Soon
after beginning to preach, he began to compose and to write music. His first
song was "The Shining Ones," still popular. He published at different
times five singing-books: "Shining Pearls," "Golden Gate,"
"Sparkling Jewels," "The Gospel Trumpet," and the
"Morning Star." "Bringing in the Sheaves" was one of the
last songs from his hand.
His
last meeting was held in Dallas, Texas, in May 1878. He was killed by a
railroad accident, going from Dallas to McKinney, on the 7th of June, 1878.
During his ministry he baptized over eleven thousand persons.
