The grain is falling fast,
And soon the time of reaping
Forever will be past.
Refrain:
The harvest bells! oh, how they ring;
To one and all they say,
"O come, the blessèd Gospel sing,
Come work and watch and pray."
2 "Come over then and help us,"
The harvest bells do say,
"Come quickly to the rescue";
This call we must obey. [Refrain]
3 Then do not tarry longer,
"Make haste," the bells do say,
As everywhere they’re ringing,
"Work while ’tis called today". [Refrain]
4 Then let us pray and labor
Until the end we see,
’Till every friend and neighbor
From Satan shall be free. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: MECKLENBURG
