1 To the harvest field away we will gladly go today,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves;
From the early dawn till night we will labor with our might,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves.

Refrain:
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves,
Praise the Lord, we’re on our way that to that land of endless day,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves.

2 On the mountain, hill or plain we will harvest in the grain,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves;
Yes, we’ll labor far and near, never falter, never fear,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves. [Refrain]

3 We will sing and we will pray, and our Master’s voice obey,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves;
As we go in foreign lands, doing what our Lord commands,
Gathering sheaves, beautiful sheaves. [Refrain]
