Refrain: What will you do with your harvest? What will you do? What will you do? Use it to honor the Master, And He will honor you. 2 Will you in pleasure and comfort live, And call your own what God has giv’n? Oh, shall not from every rich harvest field, The first sheaf ripened belong to Heaven? [Refrain] 3 If this you do with your harvest, friend, Come up with all the tithes of grain, The promise of God then will be fulfilled: Your barns the blessings will not contain. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [What will you do with your harvest, friend?] Text Sources: The Beacon Light, by John H. Tenney and Elisha A. Hoffman (Boston: Oliver Ditson, 1881)
