O where are the reapers
that garner in
The sheaves of the good
from the fields of sin?
With sickles of truth
must the work be done,
And no one may rest
till the “harvest home.”
Where are the reapers?
O who will come
And share in the glory
of the “harvest home”?
O who will help us to garner in
The sheaves of good
from the fields of sin?
Go out in the byways
and search them all;
The wheat may be there
but the weeds are tall;
Then search in the highway,
and pass none by;
But gather them all
for the home on high.
Where are the reapers?
O who will come
And share in the glory
of the “harvest home”?
O who will help us to garner in
The sheaves of good
from the fields of sin?
The fields are all ripening,
and far and wide
The world now is waiting
the harvest tide:
But reapers are few,
and the work is great,
And much will be lost
should the harvest wait.
Where are the reapers?
O who will come
And share in the glory
of the “harvest home”?
O who will help us to garner in
The sheaves of good
from the fields of sin?
So come with your sickles,
ye sons of men,
And gather together
the golden grain;
Toil on till the Lord
of the harvest come,
Then share ye His joy
in the “harvest home.”
Where are the reapers?
O who will come
And share in the glory
of the “harvest home”?
O who will help us to garner in
The sheaves of good
from the fields of sin?
