Author: Jennie Wilson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10260 First Line: Hasten away to the harvest field Refrain First Line: Work, yes, work today Lyrics: 1 Hasten away to the harvest field, Work for the Lord today; Go and with gladness the sickle wield, Work for the Lord today. Hasten, the moments are speeding fast, Soon will the time for your toil be past; Win the reward that doth ever last, Work for the Lord today. Refrain: Work, yes, work today, Work, yes, work today; Go and labor with joy in the harvest field, Work for the Lord today! 2 Hasten, no longer with idlers stand, Work for the Lord today; Go and obey the divine command, Work for the Lord today. Out in the field where the grain is white, Gather the sheaves that are golden bright. Fair will they shine in eternal light, Work for the Lord today. [Refrain] 3 Labor with those who have borne the heat, Work for the Lord today; Rest in the eve will be calm and sweet, Work for the Lord today. Toil with the reapers till dusk appears, Toil tho’ your eyes may grow dim with tears, Look to the rapture of Heaven’s years, Work for the Lord today. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Hasten away to the harvest field]
