The Golden Harvest

Author: H. R. J. Hymnal: Timeless Truths #893 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.7.6 First Line: Oh, why should I be idle Refrain First Line: The laborers are few Lyrics: 1 Oh, why should I be idle, While there’s so much to do? The wheat is ripe to harvest, And the laborers are few. Refrain: The laborers are few, And still there’s much to do; The wheat is ripe to harvest, And the laborers are few. 2 Oh, why should I be idle? The morning sun is high, And soon it will be sinking Low in the western sky. [Refrain] 3 No I shall not be idle, For in God’s word I see: “No idlers in My vineyard; Go thou and work for Me.” [Refrain] 4 I’ll be no longer idle, But faithful I will be; I’ll go and work for Jesus, I hear Him calling me. [Refrain] 5 Why stand ye all day idle? There’s harvesting for all; Oh, grasp the flaming sickle, And heed the Master’s call. [Refrain] Scripture: John 4:35 Tune Title: [Oh, why should I be idle]
