The Reaper’s Song

Author: Edith Sanford Tillotson Hymnal: United Praise #18 (1908) First Line: We are reapers in the field Refrain First Line: Working for the Lord of the harvest Lyrics: 1 We are reapers in the field, Working for the King; Busy hours their fruits now yield, Rich reward they bring. Refrain: Working for the Lord of the harvest, Bringing in the sheaves so fair, Throwing out the weeds of sin, Bringing only goodness in, Toiling for him everywhere; Working for the Lord of the harvest, Sinful words and deeds we throw away; Only love, and truth, and faith, and kindness, Are the sheaves that we bring today. 2 We are reapers, young and old, Each must do his best; We must work with courage bold, Striving with the rest. [Refrain] 3 We are reapers for the King Mid his golden grain; As we work our voices ring In the glad refrain. [Refrain] Tune Title: [We are reapers in the field]
