While there’s so much to do?
The wheat is ripe to harvest,
And the laborers are few.
Refrain:
The laborers are few,
And still there’s much to do;
The wheat is ripe to harvest,
And the laborers are few.

The morning sun is high,
And soon it will be sinking
Low in the western sky. [Refrain]
3 No I shall not be idle,
For in God’s word I see:
“No idlers in My vineyard;
Go thou and work for Me.” [Refrain]
4 I’ll be no longer idle,
But faithful I will be;
I’ll go and work for Jesus,
I hear Him calling me. [Refrain]
5 Why stand ye all day idle?
There’s harvesting for all;
Oh, grasp the flaming sickle,
And heed the Master’s call. [Refrain] Scripture: John 4:35 Tune Title: [Oh, why should I be idle]
