Work On

Representative Text

1 O work and wait a little while,
The harvest time is near;
Look up! the sky is bright above,
Tho’ all around be drear.

Refrain:
Work and wait a little while,
The harvest time is near,
The sky is bright above
Tho’ all around be drear.

2 The deaf shall hear, the blind shall see
And darkness flee away;
Be patient yet a little while
For dawns the golden day. [Refrain]

3 Work on, the bending harvest glows
And darkness soon will come;
Be faithful, and you shall rejoice
To sing the “Harvest Home.” [Refrain]
