On to the Work

Author: Jennie Garnett Hymnal: Melodious Sonnets #95 (1885) First Line: On to the work! for the fields are white Refrain First Line: Then to the reaping of joy up there Lyrics: 1 On to the work! for the fields are white, And waiting for you and me; Only the toil of a few more days, And ended our work will be. Refrain: Then to the reaping of joy up there Master and workers shall come; We with our sheaves of golden grain, And He with our welcome home. 2 On to the work! tho’ the seed may fall In silence, perhaps in tears; God will remember, and we shall see The fruitage of endless years. [Refrain] 3 On to the work with a firm resolve To labor with all our might! Looking beyond, where the daystar shines O’er regions of endless light. [Refrain] 4 On to the work! and the strength we need Shall never be sought in vain; Gladly we toil, and the cross endure, With Jesus to live and reign. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [On to the work! for the fields are white]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[On to the work! for the fields are white]" in Melodious Sonnets William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
