The Voice of Praise ‎#24

24. To the Harvest

1 Hear the Master's earnest call,
"To the harvest;" To the harvest, to the harvest;
Hasten, ere the shadows fall,
to the harvest, To the harvest fields away;
Work with patience there in the fields so fair,
Reap the golden grain today;
Soon will sink the sun, ere the work is done,
To the harvest fields away.

Chorus:
Haste away! Haste away!
To the harvest fields away!
Soon will sink the sun,
ere the work is done,
To the harvest fields away!

2 Hear the reapers loudly cry,
To the harvest;" To the harvest, to the harvest;
Soon the season passeth by--
to the harvest, To the harvest fields away;
There is work to do, there is work for you,
Join the reapers while you may;
Haste to do your part,
go with willing heart,
To the harvest fields away. [Chorus]

3 We will come, O blessed Lord,
to the harvest; To the harvest, to the harvest;
We will heed the holy word,
to the harvest, To the harvest fields away;
We will join the throng with a courage strong
We will now the call obey,
And the reapers' song we will help prolong,
To the harvest fields away. [Chorus]
