Reapers For The Harvest

Author: Eben Eugene Rexford Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7737 First Line: Lo! all ready for the gathering Refrain First Line: Lo the harvest Lyrics: 1 Lo! all ready for the gathering God’s great harvest stands; Hark! the reapers’ song is ringing Up and down the lands; Hear you not the call for workmen Sounding over hill and valley? Answer quickly, bring to service Willing hearts and hands. Refrain: Lo the harvest Ripe and ready stands today. See, the Master cometh, And He comes this way, Seeking for reapers; Let us answer one and all, For a great reward is offered If we heed His call. Awake, awake, the harvest waits On every hill and plain; Go, and gather in The sheaves of golden grain; Reaping and binding Ere the harvest pass away, Answer quickly, We will work today. 2 Great the need, But few have answered, Hear the Master say; From the work of loyal service Will you turn away? O for love of Christ who calls you To be reapers in His harvest, Answer, Master, I will gladly Work for You today. [Refrain] 3 O ye idlers, join the chorus Of the harvest song; Let its music rise to Heaven All the hills along; Those who reap God’s grain and bind it, And go gleaning in the byways, Find that work done for the Savior Makes the weakest strong. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Lo! all ready for the gathering]
