Representative Text

1 We are in the harvest time,
When the fields in every clime
For the reapers flaming sickle ready stand;
See the waving golden grain,
Over valley, hill, and plain,
Let the glorious gospel truth reach every land.

Refrain:
Now the harvest time is here,
See the reapers drawing near,
With the flaming sickle ready in their hand;
Over valley, hill, and plain,
See them gath’ring golden grain—
Will you join them at the Lord’s command?

2 “Go ye into all the world,”
Says the banner Christ unfurled,
“Lo, I’m with you alway, even to the end”;
Tarry not till age and youth
Have received His saving truth,
Till from every heart His praises shall ascend. [Refrain]

3 Grasp the sickle in His name,
Ye with hearts of love aflame,
Go with all the pow’r in heav’n and earth endued;
Reap the grain on every shore,
Still entreating o’er and o’er,
“Come, poor sinner, be ye reconciled to God.” [Refrain]

4 In the end of time He’ll say,
“Come, ye reapers of the day,
You have toiled and faltered not till set of sun”;
Then the harvest-home shall ring
With the songs the reapers sing:
“Rest in peace, ye faithful ones”; I say, “Well done.” [Refrain]
