The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1046

1046. The harvest dawn is near

1 The harvest dawn is near,
The year delays not long,
And he who sows with many a tear
Shall reap with many a song.

2 Sad to his toil he goes,
His seed with weeping leaves;
But he shall come at twilight's close,
And bring his golden sheaves.
