To the Harvest

Author: M. A. C. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #24 (1904) First Line: Hear the Master's earnest call Refrain First Line: Haste away! Haste away! Lyrics: 1 Hear the Master's earnest call, "To the harvest;" To the harvest, to the harvest; Hasten, ere the shadows fall, to the harvest, To the harvest fields away; Work with patience there in the fields so fair, Reap the golden grain today; Soon will sink the sun, ere the work is done, To the harvest fields away. Chorus: Haste away! Haste away! To the harvest fields away! Soon will sink the sun, ere the work is done, To the harvest fields away! 2 Hear the reapers loudly cry, To the harvest;" To the harvest, to the harvest; Soon the season passeth by-- to the harvest, To the harvest fields away; There is work to do, there is work for you, Join the reapers while you may; Haste to do your part, go with willing heart, To the harvest fields away. [Chorus] 3 We will come, O blessed Lord, to the harvest; To the harvest, to the harvest; We will heed the holy word, to the harvest, To the harvest fields away; We will join the throng with a courage strong We will now the call obey, And the reapers' song we will help prolong, To the harvest fields away. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Hear the Master's earnest call]
