Author: Birdie Bell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11556 Meter: 11.11.11 D First Line: Harvest fields are waiting, white the waving grain Lyrics: 1 Harvest fields are waiting, white the waving grain; Christ the Master calleth, soon the day will wane. Hasten at His bidding, join the reaper band, Help them at their labor, work with willing hand. Refrain: Harvest fields are waiting, labor while you may; Time is swiftly flying, dome and work today. 2 Harvest fields are waiting, do not linger long; Borne upon the breezes, comes the reaper’s song. Patiently, O toiler, pluck the golden grain, Ere the shades of evening fall o’er hill and plain. [Refrain] 3 Harvest fields are waiting: who will come today, Join the band of reapers, bear the sheaves away? Soon the day of toiling will be ever past; May the Master’s greeting be "Well done" at last! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: GDYNIA
