573. Where prophet's word and martyr's blood

1 Where prophet’s word and martyr’s blood,
And prayers of saints were sown,
And prayers of saints wer sown.
We to their labors ent’ring in
Would reap, would reap, would reap,
would reap where they have strown.
We to their labors ent’ring in
Would reap, would reap, would reap,
would reap where they have strown.

2 O Thou whose call our hearts has stirred!
To do Thy will we come,
To do Thy will we come.
Thrust in our sickles at Thy word
And bear, and bear, and bear,
and bear our harvest home.
Thrust in our sickles at Thy word
And bear, and bear, and bear,
and bear our harvest home.
