15978. Who Will Work For Jesus?

1 Who will work for Jesus in the harvest field,
The sheaves to garner in?
Who today will join us and the sickle wield,
These precious souls to win?

Refrain:
Go, gather in the ripened sheaves,
O do not longer now delay.
Go and work for Jesus in the harvest field,
Go forth and work today.

2 Every single corner of this worldwide field
Is white with ripened grain;
Faithful, earnest effort will a harvest yield—
God’s work is not in vain. [Refrain]

3 See the host around us who the Lord’s might be!
O do not now delay!
Think of waiting millions far across the sea!
Go forth and work today. [Refrain]

4 There’s a crown awaiting every faithful one
Who lends a helping hand;
Jesus soon is coming and will say, Well done
To all the mission band. [Refrain]
