153. Little Gleaners

1 Busy little gleaners we
In the grain fields of our King;
When the evening shadows fall
Precious little sheaves we bring.

Refrain:
Busy, busy gleaners we,
Where the harvest fields are white,
Gladly, gladly for our King,
We’ll toil till dewy night.

2 Busy little gleaners we
Where the purple clusters shine;
Bringing home at eventide
Treasures from the laden vine. [Refrain]

3 Busy little gleaners we
Toiling gladly for our King;
Precious are the tiny sheaves
Little children to Him bring. [Refrain]
