Author: Maxwell Hymnal: Christ in Song #700 (1908) First Line: Saints of God, the dawn is bright'ning Lyrics: 1 Saints of God, the dawn is bright'ning,
Tokens of the coming Lord;
O'er the earth the fields are whit'ning,
Louder rings the Master's word:
Pray for reapers, Pray for reapers,
In the harvest of the Lord.
2 Feebly now they toil in sadness,
Weeping o'er the waste around,
Slowly gath'ring grains of gladness,
While their echoing cries resound:
Pray that reapers, Pray that reapers,
In God's harvest may abound.
3 Now, O Lord, ful fill thy pleasure,
Breathe upon thy chosen band,
And with pentecostal measure,
Send forth reapers in our land;
Faithful reapers, Faithful reapers,
Gath'ring sheaves for thy right hand.
4 Soon shall end the time of weeping,
Soon the reaping time will come,
Heav'n and earth together keeping
God's eternal harvest home;
Saints and angels, Saints and angels,
Shout the world's great harvest home. Topics: The Home Eternal Harvest Time Languages: English Tune Title: REGENT SQUARE
