Bringing In the Sheaves

Music: Knowles Shaw

Main subject: Sowing/Reaping
Scripture: Psalm 126:6





            1. 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.
              • Refrain:
                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.
            2. 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.
            3. 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,
              We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Scripture: Revelation 7:14









          1. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing pow’r?
            Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
            Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
            Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
            • Refrain:
              Are you washed in the blood,
              In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
              Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
              Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
          2. Are you walking daily by the Savior’s side?
            Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
            Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
            Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
          3. When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
            Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
            Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,
            And be washed in the blood of the Lamb?
          4. Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
            And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
            There’s a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
            Oh, be washed in the blood of the Lamb!

        1. Would you be free from the burden of sin?
          There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;

          There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.
