Refrain: The glittering sheaves, O, gather them in! Precious their cost, Let none be lost; Labor and sing till the evening bells ring, And bring all the golden sheaves in. 2 The Master toiled early and late for us all, Nor tho’t of his own weary feet; O let us in gratitude answer his call, And work for his recompense sweet. [Refrain] 3 The harvest is ripe and the hour grows late, O haste ere the darkness comes down! Let each take a sheaf to the beautiful gate, And Jesus will give us a crown. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [O bring your best songs to our Savior today]
