Chorus:
Let the sun shine one more day
As we bend our backs and we bind the hay
As we gather in the full leaf corn
When the days turn warm from a frosty morn.
Pick and pile and cut and truss
What the earth has borne for us
Load it up and haste away
For light grows shorter day by day
Chorus
Place the yield in silo and barn
Safe from the snow and rain and harm
Then you reap a harvest rare
Of deep content and sleep secure
Chorus
Autumn's harvest rich as gold
Stored as winter's shield from cold
For our children, for our beasts
We now prepare a harvest feast
Chorus
Bless the earth and rain and sun
That we need to carry on
Bless the seasons which have turned
And give to us what we have earned.
