1. Who will work for Jesus in the harvest field,
The sheaves to garner in?
Who today will join us and the sickle wield,
These precious souls to win?

Chorus:
Go, gather in the sheaves,
O haste, O haste away;
Go and work for Jesus in the harvest field,
Go forth and work today.

2. Ev'ry single corner of this world-wide field
Is white with ripened grain,
Faithful, earnest effort will a harvest yield,
God's work is not in vain. [Chorus]

3. See the host around us who the Lord's might be!
Oh do not now delay!
Think of waiting millions far across the sea!
Go forth and work today. [Chorus]

4. There's a crown awaiting ev'ry faithful one
Who lends a helping hand;
Jesus soon is coming and will say "Well done"
To all the mission band. [Chorus]
