lyrics

Let the sun shine one more day
As we bend our backs and we bind the hay
As we gather in the full-eared 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, then haste away
For light grows shorter day by day

Place the yield in silo and barn
Safe from snow and rain and harm
Then you reap a harvest sure
Of deep content and sleep secure

Let the sun shine one more day
As we bend our backs and we bind the hay
As we gather in the full-eared corn
When the days turn warm from a frosty morn

Autumn's harvest rich as gold
Stored as winter's shield from cold
For our children, for the beasts
We now prepare a harvest feast

Bless the earth and rain and sun
That we need to carry on
Bless the season's which have turned
And give to us what we have earned

Let the sun shine one more day
As we bend our backs and we bind the hay
As we gather in the full-eared corn
When the days turn warm from a frosty morn

Let the sun shine one more day
As we bend our backs and we bind the hay
As we gather in the full-eared corn
When the days turn warm from a frosty morn
