Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #97 (1845) First Line: Though to a distant region Lyrics: 1 Though to a distant region, Our course we may not steer; To spread that blest religion, Which prompts our meeting here; Though Providence denies us The heavier work to do, Our Master here employs us, We're in his service too. 2 While fathers, sons, and brothers, Are toiling in the field, Their daughters, sisters, mothers, To sloth shall never yield; Our hands shall make their raiment, And needful food provide, Till every faithful claimant Shall have his wants supplied. 3 Our works are not redundant,-- 'Tis little we can do-- The harvest is abundant, And reapers are but few; To aid the pious labours Of those in darker lands, We meet as Christian neighbours, And ply our cheerful hands. 4 While some go forward weeping, And scatter precious seeds, And others now are reaping The fruits of former deeds; Our Father, God, direct them, Wherever they shall roam; Let angel bands protect them, Till thou shalt call them home. 5 When they return with gladness, Their sheaves around them borne, No longer, then, in sadness, Their sufferings we shall mourn; What though they go before us, Or long delay to come, We'll join their blissful chorus, And "shout the harvest home."
