5. Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.
6. He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. (NASB, 1995)
"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 labor ended, / 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. / Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master, / Tho' 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. / 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."
Knowles Shaw (1834-1878)
