Author: Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #323 (1957) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O still in accents sweet and strong Lyrics: 1 O still in accents sweet and strong
Sounds forth the ancient word,
"More reapers for white harvest fields,
More laborers for the Lord."
2 We hear the call; in dreams no more
In selfish ease we lie,
But, girded for our Father's work,
Go forth beneath His sky.
3 Where prophets' word, and martyrs' blood,
And prayers of saints were sown,
We, to their labors entering in,
Would reap where they have strown.
4 O Thou whose call our hearts has stirred,
To do Thy will we come;
Thrust in our sickles at Thy word,
And bear our harvest home.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 9:36-38 Tune Title: GREEN HILL
