Reapers for the Harvest

Author: Constance B. Reid Hymnal: Progressive Sunday School Songs #64 (1923) Topics: Sowing and Reaping First Line: Harvest-time is ready—see, the fields are white Refrain First Line: Reapers are needed for the harvest today Lyrics: 1 Harvest-time is ready—see, the fields are white, And the call for reapers cometh thro’ the night; Countless souls are dying—who will haste the word? Who will take the message where ‘twas never heard? Refrain: Reapers are needed for the harvest today, Jesus is calling, haste His word to obey; Souls around you perish in the darkness and the night; Will you heed the call today? O hasten! Reapers are needed, there’s no time for delay, Jesus is calling! go to work while you may; Souls around you perish in the darkness and night— Hasten to the work today. 2 What will be your answer when the King doth come If you have to meet Him with your work undone? Go with scythe and sickle, pray unceasingly For the dying thousands over land and sea. [Refrain] 3 Thou shalt come rejoicing when the sun goes down, And exchange thy labors for a victor’s crown. Oh, the joy of bringing golden sheaves of grain, And the Savior’s welcome on that day to gain! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Harvest-time is ready—see, the fields are white]

From the husks of want and folly, Strive the prodigals to win. [Refrain] 4 Would you have a crown eternal, When the harvest all is in? Seek to swell the heav’nly garner, Ere it be too late to glean.

Ye Reapers of the Cross

Hymnal: Songs of Grace and Glory #84 (1918) Topics: Sowing and Reaping First Line: The harvest is great Refrain First Line: Then haste away, ye reapers of the cross Lyrics: 1 The harvest is great, The laborers are few; Jesus calls for reapers, He calls the tried and true. Oh, are you ready, brother? Say, “Here am I, send me;” “Send where thou wilt, dear Master; True to the end I’ll be.” Refrain: Then haste away, ye reapers of the cross, The golden harvest must not suffer loss; The evening sun is sinking very fast, Soon the harvest-time will be forever past. 2 The harvest is great, Oh, see the falling grain On the Indian mountains, On China’s floral plain. Speed to the harvest, reaper, Garner a few more sheaves; When all the reapers gather, Dare not to come with leaves. [Refrain] 3 The harvest is great, The laborers are few, Jesus now is calling So earnestly for you. Go to the harvest, brother, Go like a reaper brave; Rush to the rescue, sister, Perishing souls to save. [Refrain] 4 The harvest is great, How can we e’er describe? From the Greenland dweller, From Afric’s dusky tribe, Comes there a call so plaintive, Hear it from morn till night; Hear ‘mid the teardrops falling: “Send us the gospel light.” [Refrain] Coda: Then haste ye to the harvest, Ye reapers of the cross. Tune Title: [The harvest is great]

The Call to Harvest

McDaniel Hymnal: Progressive Sunday School Songs #106 (1923) Topics: Sowing and Reaping First Line: Have you heard the Master calling Refrain First Line: Lift thine eyes and look around you Lyrics: 1 Have you heard the Master calling To His people far and near, Pleading for His ripened harvest? Lo, the golden fields appear! Even now the grain is wasting, For the reapers yet are few, And your help is greatly needed; Can the Master count on you? Refrain: Lift thine eyes and look around you, See the wide extended field, Ripened, waiting, and abundant is the yield! Hasten then to help the reapers, Gather in the golden grain; What you give or do for Jesus Will not, cannot be in vain. 2 If you love the patient Master, Let Him no more plead in vain; Go, or help to send forth reapers, To preserve the precious grain; Trust the Master and obey Him; Go, or send at His command— Help to gather in His harvest, Anywhere, in any land. [Refrain] 3 When the harvest time is ended, And the reapers homeward turn, Bringing in the sheaves they’ve gathered, They will hear their Lord’s “Well done;” Just to hear His blest approval, Will all toil and pain repay; Yet He giveth crowns of glory, And a home in endless day. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Have you heard the Master calling]

The seed by thee provided is sown o'er hill and plain, and thou with gentle showers dost bless the springing grain. 3 The year with good thou crownest, the earth thy mercy fills, the wilderness is fruitful, and joyful are the hills. With corn the vales are covered, the flocks in pastures graze; all nature joins in singing a joyful song of praise. Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English Tune Title: WEBB
