Author: Mrs. N. P. C. Hymnal: Christian Gospel Hymns #104 (1909) First Line: Harvest fields are waving with the ripened grain Refrain First Line: We have heard Thee calling, Lord Lyrics: 1 Harvest fields are waving with the ripened grain,
Hear the call, O reaper! shall it be in vain!
Listen! ‘tis the Master, calling since the dawn;
O, for earnest workers, ere the day is gone.
Refrain:
We have heard Thee calling, Lord,
In the field we’ll glean for Thee;
We will join the reapers as they work and sing,
Gathering the harvest for the Lord, our King.
2 Plenteous the harvest, laborers are few;
You have promis’d, worker, will you not be true?
Faithful to thy duty, think not of thine ease;
Gather for thy Master precious golden sheaves! [Refrain]
3 Reaper in life’s harvest, hear the clarion call!
Hasten at His bidding to the work, away!
Rich reward He’ll give thee, trust Him for it all;
Daylight soon will vanish, gather while you may. [Refrain]
