The Cyber Hymnal ‎#13774

13774. See The Harvesters Reaping

1 See the harvesters reaping!
Idle they never stand;
They are faithfully keeping,
Keeping the Lord’s command.

Refrain:
Reaping, reaping,
Chanting a hopeful strain!
Go and help them labor,
Reaping the golden grain.

2 See the harvesters reaping,
Many be they or few!
And, if smiling or weeping,
Toiling the whole day through! [Refrain]

3 See the harvesters reaping,
Gathering all they may!
Sheaves of life they are keeping,
Ready to bear away! [Refrain]

4 See the harvesters reaping,
Reaping the harvest vast;
Though the shadows be creeping,
Still they are working fast! [Refrain]

5 See the harvesters reaping,
Patient, and brave, and true!
Be not idle, nor sleeping,
When there is work to do. [Refrain]
