My Father's Work is Pressing Me

Author: Rev. William T. Sleeper, 1819-1904 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: The waiting field is large and white Lyrics: 1 The waiting field is large and white, And doth the sickles keen invite; Yea, many drooping plants I see, My Father's work is pressing me. Refrain: My Father's work is pressing me, And I must do it faithfully; The reapers on the field are few, And I to Jesus must be true. 2 The reapers in the field are few, With willing hearts, and brave and true; Help must be summoned speedily; My Father's work is pressing me. [Refrain] 3 The sickles rough and dull with rust, Lie careless, trodden in the dust; Sharpened and furbished must they be; My Father's work is pressing me. [Refrain] 4 Let not the ripened grain be lost; Before the winter's sleet and frost, I must be garnered faithfully; My Father's work is pressing me. [Refrain] Topics: Missions Used With Tune: [The waiting field is large and white]
