November’s Songs of Thanks and Praise Series. “Bringing in the Sheaves” was written in 1874 by Knowles Shaw, who was a singer, evangelist, and farmer. The hymn’s lyrics are based on Psalm 126:5,6- “Those who sow in tears shall harvest with joyful shouting. One who goes here and there weeping, carrying his bag of seed, Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.” I chose an image in the manner of the famous painting The Gleaners by Jean-Francois Millet.
