	1.	Laboring on the good land, laboring in the
		morning,
		Laboring through the noontime to the early
		eve,
		Laboring for a harvest, reaping all the
		produce,
		Coming to the meeting, bringing in the
		sheaves.
		Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the
		sheaves,
		Here we are rejoicing, bringing in the
		sheaves!
		Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the
		sheaves,
		Here we are rejoicing, bringing in the
		sheaves!
	2.	Reaping wheat and barley, death and
		resurrection,
		Though the loss sustained our old man often
		grieves;
		But in life abundant, life in resurrection,
		Coming to the meeting, bringing in the
		sheaves.
	3.	Grain and wine and oil-bringing in the
		surplus
		Of the wheat and barley, vine and olive
		trees:
		Wine to cause rejoicing, oil to give
		anointing,
		Bringing in the top tenth, bringing in the
		sheaves.
