Author: Lanta Wilson Smith Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Luke 10:1 First Line: There are golden sheaves to gather e'er the angel reapers come Refrain First Line: Gather, gather, Golden sheaves Lyrics: 1 There are golden sheaves to gather ere the angel reapers come,
But the toilers in the field are few;
While a single soul is waiting to be garnered for the Lord,
There is work for human hands to do.
Refrain:
Gather, gather,
Golden sheaves to stand before the throne,
We must gather, gather,
Golden sheaves for heaven’s harvest home.
2 Cut the tangles of temptation from the pathway of the weak,
To the fallen reach a helping hand;
Throw the arms of love and sympathy around the erring one,
Till by faith he learns to firmly stand. [Refrain]
3 When relentless pain and sorrow seem to dim the brightest day,
And the cherished hopes of life decline;
Let the dew of love and mercy fall from heaven’s boundless store
Till the world shall glow with light divine. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [There are golden sheaves to gather e'er the angel reapers come]
Heaven's Harvest Home
