Hymns of Consecration and Faith ‎#441

441. Where hast thou Gleaned today?

1 Where hast thou glean’d today?
Thus does the Master say
To you—to me;
Come, tell Him, one by one,
All we have said and done,
Whate’er it be.

2 In the great field of prayer,
Have we been gleaning there—
Abroad—at home—
Blessings, for His dear sake,
On all who strive to make
His kingdom come?

3 From God’s own Scripture field
Glean we some precious yield
Of golden grain—
Promise, and plan, and will
For this great world, until
Christ comes again?

4 Glean we from fields afar
News of the holy war
Of God’s dear Son,
Of progress towards the goal,
Of many a heathen soul
For Jesus won?

5 Or in the fields around
Have we no gleanings found
Of gifts or gold,
To God’s great treasure store,
Brought in by rich or poor,
By young or old?

6 And, gleanings richer still,
Those who, the Father’s will
Longing to do,
Bring to Him heart and hand,
Joining our Gleaner-Band—
Co-workers true?

7 So grant us, Lord, we pray,
To glean while it is day,
That ours may be
At last the blest reward—
To bring our sheaves, dear Lord,
With joy to Thee!
