When the Harvest All is In

Author: E. R. Latta Hymnal: Worship and Service #67 (1916) First Line: Would you stand among the toilers Lyrics: 1 Would you stand among the toilers, When the harvest all is in? For the blessed Lord and Master, You must here the work begin. Refrain: When the harvest all is in, When the harvest all is in, What a meeting of the reapers, What a shouting of hosannas, When the harvest all is in. 2 Would you join the song of gladness, When the harvest all is in? You must be a faithful gleaner In the haunts of woe and sin. [Refrain] 3 Would you have some sheaves to offer, When the harvest all is in? 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. [Refrain] Topics: Exhortation; Sowing and Reaping; Work Tune Title: [Would you stand among the toilers]
