I wish this hymn were longer! It’s one of my favorites from way back–Bringing in the Sheaves, sung here by Tennessee Ernie Ford. I wonder how many times we sang this in Sunday school before we knew what sheaves are.

The first time I heard this hymn, in my youth, I thought it was about bringing in the sheep!
Close, but no cigar.
Good song, wished it was longer too!
Refers to the Feast of First Fruits from the O. T. The reason the Lord rose from the tomb on that traditional day (Sunday, day after the Sabbath) when the Sheaves were presented to the priest in thanks for the harvest and looking forward to next season’s harvest. It is the reason Jesus brought forth a number of “righteous dead” who appeared in the city.
We find this in Matthew 27: 52-53… maybe we ought to discuss this passage tomorrow. You don’t often hear it mentioned.
Excellent idea. I’ll try to make it. I have been very sick for three days -haven’t been on line
much today- the worst so far. Leviticus 23:11 the reference
I pray for you each day–didn’t know you were down, or I’d’ve prayed harder.
Wonderful hymn. Erlene, you are also in our prayers each day.
Thank you so much for your prayers. There is nothing I desire more for my healing and comfort.
I wanted to talk about Mt. 27: 52-53 today; but I’m so dispirited by those orcs out there sawing down all the trees, I just don’t feel like doing anything. Nowhere for me to sit and write anymore. (Yes, they’re still out there with their accursed machines.)
