Lyr Req: Harvest Anthem (from Albion Band)

Has anyone got the lyrics to a song that I think was on a compilation album that included the Albion Band & Cathy Lesurf. I think it had an environmental theme. The song began " Now is the time we've watched & waited on Strong arms will gather in what hope has sown." Also any info on the song would be appreciated.

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.

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.

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.

(Cathy Lesurf arr. Eric Hine)
