Author: Edward Albert Barnes Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: We labor in the Gospel field Refrain First Line: When the harvest comes! Lyrics: 1 We labor in the Gospel field
With willing hearts and true;
We gather in the precious yield
And ever keep in view:
Refrain:
When the harvest comes!
When the harvest comes!
With precious sheaves be ready
When the harvest comes.
2 We gladly go where He may call
Our sheaves to seek and find;
We tell of Him who died for all,
Still bearing this in mind: [Refrain]
3 We take the Word as we are shown
And sow it by the way;
We often reap what has been sown,
This precept to obey: [Refrain]
4 We gladly spend these passing days
Amid the ripening grain;
We give the Master all the praise
By this our sweet refrain: [Refrain] Used With Tune: [We labor in the Gospel field] Text Sources: Missionary Songs by E. S. Lorenz (Dayton, OH: W. J. Shuey, 1895)
