1 Leave not for tomorrow the work of today,
For time, like an arrow, is speeding away;
The harvest is ready, look out on the plain;
Go, thrust in the sickle and gather the grain.

Refrain:
Go, gather the golden grain,
Go, gather the golden grain;
The harvest is ready, look out on the plain;
Go, gather the golden grain.

2 Leave not for tomorrow the work of today,
The moments are precious, then why should we stay?
The Master is calling again and again;
Go, thrust in the sickle and gather the grain. [Refrain]

3 Leave not for tomorrow the work of today,
The summer is waning, no longer delay;
The sheaves for the reaping wave bright o’er the plain;
Go, thrust in the sickle and gather the grain. [Refrain]
