The Call for Reapers
Author: J. O. Thompson Appears in 195 hymnals Scripture: John 9:4 First Line: Far and near the fields are teeming Refrain First Line: Lord of harvest, send forth reapers! Lyrics: 1 Far and near the fields are teeming
With the waves of ripened grain;
Far and near their gold is gleaming
O'er the sunny slope and plain.
Refrain:
Lord of harvest, send forth reapers!
Hear us, Lord, to you we cry;
Send them now the sheaves to gather,
Ere the harvest time pass by.
2 Send them forth with morn's first beaming,
Send them in the noontide's glare;
When the sun's last rays are gleaming,
Bid them gather ev'rywhere. [Refrain]
3 O you whom the Lord is sending,
Gather now the sheaves of gold;
Heav'nward then at evening wending,
You shall come with joy untold. [Refrain]

Light of the World, We Hail Thee
Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 126 hymnals Scripture: John 9:4-5 Lyrics: 1 Light of the world, we hail Thee,
Flushing the eastern skies;
Never shall darkness veil Thee
Again from human eyes;
Too long, alas, withholden,
Now spread from shore to shore;
Thy light, so glad and golden,
Shall set on earth no more.
2 Light of the world, Thy beauty
Steals into every heart,
And glorifies with duty
Life's poorest, humblest part;
Thou robest in Thy splendor
The simple ways of men,
And helpest them to render
Light back to Thee again.
3 Light of the world, before Thee
Our spirits prostrate fall;
We worship, we adore Thee,
Thou Light, the Life of all;
With Thee is no forgetting
Of all Thy hand hath made;
Thy rising hath no setting
Thy sunshine hath no shade.
4 Light of the world, illumine
This darkened earth of Thine,
Till everything that's human
Be filled with what's divine;
Till every tongue and nation,
From sin's dominion free,
Rise in the new creation
Which springs from love and Thee.

More laborers
Author: Samuel Longfellow Appears in 124 hymnals Scripture: John 9:4 First Line: Oh, still in accents sweet and strong Lyrics: 1 Oh, still in accents sweet and strong

More laborers for the Lord!"

In selfish ease we lie,
But, girded for our Father's work,
Go forth beneath his sky.

And prayers of saints were sown,
We, to their labors entering in,
Would reap where they have strown. Topics: Activity; Christians Duties; Church Work of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Used With Tune: CHESTERFIELD

Must I Go, and Empty-Handed?

Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
Not one day of service give Him,
Lay no trophy at His feet?
Refrain:
“Must I go, and empty-handed?”
Must I meet my Savior so?
Not one soul with which to greet Him,
Must I empty-handed go?
2 Not at death I shrink or falter,
For my Savior saves me now;
But to meet Him empty-handed,
Thought of that now clouds my brow. [Refrain]
3 Oh, the years in sinning wasted,
Could I but recall them now,
I would give them to my Savior,
To His will I’d gladly bow. [Refrain]
4 Oh, ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
Up and work while yet ’tis day;
Ere the night of death o’ertake thee,
Strive for souls while still you may. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Must I go, and empty-handed] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Must_I_Go_and_Empty_Handed); Anonymous/Unknown, The Blue Book (112)

O Christ, our true and only Light
Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: John 9:5 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
Illumine those who sit in night;
Let those afar now hear thy voice,
And in thy fold with us rejoice.
2 And all who else have strayed from thee,
O gently seek; thy healing be
To ev'ry wounded conscience giv'n;
And let them also share thy heav'n.
3 O make the deaf to hear thy Word;
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
4 Shine on the darkened and the cold;
Recall the wand'rers from thy fold;
Unite those now who walk apart;
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
5 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wond'ring thanks adore,
And endless praise to thee be giv'n
By all the church in earth and heav'n.

King of Glory, King of Peace
Author: George Herbert (1593-1633) Meter: 7.4.7.4 D Appears in 59 hymnals Scripture: John 9 Lyrics: 1 King of glory, King of peace,
I will love thee;
and that love may never cease,
I will move thee.
Thou hast granted my request,
thou hast heard me;
thou didst note my working breast,
thou hast spared me.
2 Wherefore with my utmost art
I will sing thee,
and the cream of all my heart
I will bring thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
thou didst clear me;
and alone, when they replied,
thou didst hear me.
3 Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise thee;
in my heart, though not in heaven,
I can raise thee.
Small it is, in this poor sort
to enroll thee;
e'en eternity's too short
to extol thee. Topics: Forgiveness; Praise of God; Prayer; Reign of Christ Used With Tune: GWALCHMAI
