Where are thy Sheaves?

Author: Flora B.

Seeker for joy that the toiler receives, List to the voice of the spirit that grieves Where, oh where are thy sheaves? 2 The morning dews have vanished, And fled the hour of noon, How canst thou rest thus early, The night approaches soon. What wilt thou give in answer? Bowed down with shame and grief, Cans't thou behold the Master Without one gathered sheaf? [Chorus] 3 Spirit, thy warning thrills me With pangs of sore regret; Still one bright hour of labor, The Master gives me yet. Though late I came, he'll love me, Scant though my off'rings be; His words of grace will crown it This hast thou done for me. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [The golden sun is shining]
