358. Far and Near the Fields Are Teeming

1 Far and near the fields are teeming
with the sheaves of ripened grain;
Far and near their gold is gleaming
O’er the sunny slope and plain.

Refrain
Lord of harvest, send forth reapers!
Hear us Lord, to Thee we cry;
Send them now the sheaves to gather,
Ere the harvest-time pass by.

2 Send them forth with morn’s first beaming,
Send them in the noon-tides’s glare;
When the sun’s last rays are streaming,
bid them gather everywhere. [Refrain]

3 O thou, whom thy Lord is sending,
gather now the sheaves of gold;
Heavenward then at evening wending
Thou shalt come with joy untold. [Refrain]
