Author: Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: Laudes Domini #476 (1888) First Line: Oh, still in accents sweet and strong Lyrics: 1 Oh, 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. Topics: Activity; Christians Duties; Church Work of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Scripture: Matthew 9:38 Languages: English Tune Title: CHESTERFIELD
