‘Bringing in the Sheaves’

I loved this hymn in Sunday school–Bringing in the Sheaves–even if I wasn’t quite sure what “sheaves” were. Sung by choir and congregation at Islington Baptist Church. (Yes, I know by now what sheaves are.)

Begone, Evil Vision

All right, Mr. Nightmare, just back off, get lost–the Word of God is here!

Bringing in the Sheaves was a Sunday school favorite, even if a lot of us weren’t sure what “sheaves” were. All I know about this lively version is that it was posted by the Islington Baptist Church. And it suits me this morning, as I hope it suits you.

‘Bringing in the Sheaves’

A good old 19th-century hymn, Bringing in the Sheaves: I used to love singing it in Sunday school, even though I wasn’t quite sure what a “sheave” was.

Sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford–can’t ask for better than that.

‘Bringing in the Sheaves’

No hymn requests this morning–so I post the first hymn that pops into my head. Today it’s Bringing in the Sheaves, sung by Burl Ives.

Food is a gift of God, His bounty. How many of us don’t know where it comes from?

‘Bringing in the Sheaves’ (Joshua & Jeremy)

This is one of my favorite hymns–going all the way back to Sunday school, and not knowing exactly what “sheaves” were–and I admit I post it fairly often. Why not?

This is a brand-new video by our friends Joshua and Jeremy. And now this hymn will be in my mind all day… but it’ll be good company.

‘Bringing in the Sheaves’

This was the first hymn that came to mind today, and as there are no requests as yet, I decided to go with it–Bringing in the Sheaves, sung by the Mansion Singers. An old Sunday school favorite (even if we weren’t quite sure what “sheaves” were).

‘Bringing in the Sheaves’

I loved singing this in Sunday school, even thought I didn’t know what a “sheave” was, or why anyone would be bringing them in.

A good old-fashioned hymn, sung by Tennessee Ernie Ford–Bringing in the Sheaves.

‘Bringing in the Sheaves’ (Congregational)

How would this hymn sound if a lot of people sang it, all at once?

It’d sound great!

Bringing in the Sheaves, sung by the congregation and choir at Southwest Baptist Church, Oklahoma City. Plus piano, of course: just as I remember it from Sunday school.

‘Bringing in the Sheaves’ (Burl Ives)

Here’s a good old Sunday school favorite, piano and all–Bringing in the Sheaves, sung by Burl Ives. How many people out there don’t know what “sheaves” are?

‘Bringing in the Sheaves’

We can’t do better than this to start our day–a great old-fashioned hymn, Bringing in the Sheaves.

I wonder how many people even know what sheaves are, these days.

And Burl Ives is well worth remembering, too.
