The HarvestÉmile Bernard [Web Gallery of Art]


When our weeping’s over, He will bid us welcome,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.


An old Protestant hymn from the USA, Bringing in the Sheaves, performed in Cape Town (Kapstadt), South Africa. The hymn is based on Psalm 126 [125]:6.

They go out, they go out, full of tears,
 carrying seed for the sowing; 
they come back, they come back, full of song, 
carrying their sheaves.
