HARVEST ANTHEM

Now is the time we have watched and waited on,
Strong arms will gather in what hope has sown.
Beyond the storm in dreams of golden dawn
Crowning our labour comes the harvest home.

   For our tomorrows and for those who walked before
   In an endless chain we will walk again 'til the sun rises no more;
   For our tomorrows, through the waste that costs so dear,
   In an endless chain we will walk again through the fields of the changing years.


Hindsight and dreams, as birds turn with the spring;
Time wheels us round on what the years may bring.
When reason fails and waiting is so long,
Love in the dance takes a trust that's strong.

Now is the time we have watched and waited on
Strong arms will gather in what hope has sown.
Beyond the storm in dreams of golden dawn
Crowning our labour comes the harvest home.

I have to say I'm not sure about the last line of the second verse - it's all I could pick out on my recording but it doesn't sound quite right.
