Honey Out of the Rock ‎#70

70. Little Reapers

1 We are little reapers,
Toiling thro’ the day,
Lab’ring in the harvest
O’er the stony way;
Gleaning ‘mong the thistles,
Searching thro’ the rain,
Fitting for the garner
Bright and golden grain.

Toiling, toiling, toiling all the day,
Toiling, toiling in this happy way.
Gleaning ‘mong the thistles,
Searching thro’ the rain,
Fitting for the garner
Bright and golden grain.

2 We are little reapers,
In the fields of sin,
Striving for the Master
Precious souls to win;
Pointing them to Jesus,
To the Lamb of God;
Following His footsteps
In the paths He trod.

Toiling, toiling, toiling all the day,
Toiling, toiling in this happy way.
Pointing them to Jesus,
To the Lamb of God;
Following His footsteps
In the paths He trod.

3 We are little reapers,
In the harvest field,
Truth and right the sickles
That we there do wield;
And we labor ever,
‘Neath our Father’s eye,
Gathering the bright sheaves
For the home on high.

Toiling, toiling, toiling all the day,
Toiling, toiling in this happy way.
And we labor ever,
‘Neath our Father’s eye,
Gathering the bright sheaves
For the home on high.
