Lift up your eyes
to the fields that are whit’ning;
Hark! ‘Tis the voice
of the master and Lord:
See! On each side
there is work for the reaper,
Sheaves that are golden
shall be the reward.
Are you a reaper?
Are you a reaper?
Gathering fruit unto life evermore?
Lift up your eyes,
for the harvest is ready?
Hasten, oh, hasten
to gather your store!
Look on the fields
how the harvest is wasting,
Waiting for reapers
to garner it in!
He that is faithful receiveth
his wages;
Joy everlasting
the reaper shall win.
Are you a reaper?
Are you a reaper?
Gathering fruit unto life evermore?
Lift up your eyes,
for the harvest is ready?
Hasten, oh, hasten
to gather your store!
Souls that are ready
to enter the kingdom,
Wait for the glad invitation to-day:
“Go ye and tell,”
is the word of the Master—
Servant of Jesus,
oh hear, and obey!
Are you a reaper?
Are you a reaper?
Gathering fruit unto life evermore?
Lift up your eyes,
for the harvest is ready?
Hasten, oh, hasten
to gather your store!
Reap for His glory
in fields that are nearest;
Look all abroad,
for the harvest is white:
O’er the wide earth
are the sheaves to be garnered—
Hasten, O reaper,
fast cometh the night!
Are you a reaper?
Are you a reaper?
Gathering fruit unto life evermore?
Lift up your eyes,
for the harvest is ready?
Hasten, oh, hasten
to gather your store!
