Hearken to the thankful reapers

1 Hearken to the thank­ful reapers,
Bearing to the gar­ner floor,
With their voic­es sing­ing glad­ness,
Sheaves of gold, mel­low store;
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia,
Praise to God for­ev­er­more.

2 First the blade from fur­row spring­ing
Grow into the ver­dant ear,
Which in time was gild­ed, rip­ened
With the seasons of the year;
Alleluia, Al­le­lu­ia,
Lord, Thy thank­ful reape­rs hear.

3 Praise we then the Lord Al­migh­ty,
Sitting on His throne on high,
Day by day He guards and feeds us,
Always list­ens to our cry;
Folds us in His arms of mer­cy,
Gives us Heav­en when we die.
