Ho! Reapers of Life's Harvest
Author: I. B. W. Appears in 121 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:37 First Line: Ho! reapers of life's harvest Lyrics: 1 Ho! reapers of life's harvest,
Why stand with rusted blade,
Until the night draws round thee,
And day begins to fade?
Why stand ye idle, waiting
For reapers more to come?
The golden morn is passing,
Why sit ye idle, dumb?
2 Thrust in your sharpened sickle,
And gather in the grain,
The night is fast approaching,
And soon will come again.
The Master calls for reapers,
And shall he call in vain?
Shall sheaves lie there ungathered,
And waste upon the plain?
3 Come down from hill and mountain
In morning's ruddy glow,
Nor wait until the dial
Points to the noon below;
And come with stronger sinew,
Nor faint in heat or cold,
And pause not till the evening
Draws round its wealth of gold.
4 Mount up the heights of wisdom,
And crush each error low;
Keep back no words of knowledge
That human hearts should know.
Be faithful to thy mission,
In service of thy Lord,
And then a golden chaplet
Shall be thy just reward. Used With Tune: [Ho! reapers of life's harvest]

Your Hand, O Lord, in Days of Old
Author: Edward H. Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 177 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:35 Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O Lord, in days of old
Was strong to heal and save;
It triumphed over ills and death,
O'er darkness and the grave.
To You they came, the blind, the mute,
The palsied and the lame,
The lepers in their misery,
The sick with fevered frame.
2 Your touch then, Lord,brought life and health,
Gave speech and strength and sight;
And youth renewed and frenzy calmed
Revealed You, Lord of light.
And now, O Lord, be near to bless,
Almighty as before,
In crowded street, by beds of pain,
As by Gennes'ret's shore.
3 O be our great deliverer still,
O Lord of life and death;
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless,
With Your life-giving breath.
To hands that work and eyes that see
Give wisdom's healing pow'r
That whole and sick and weak and strong
May praise You evermore. Topics: Society; Health and Healing Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Jesus, My Savior, Look on Me
Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 126 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:36 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Savior, look on me,
For I am weary and oppressed;
I come to cast myself on Thee:
Thou art my Rest.
2 Look down on me, for I am weak;
I feel the toilsome journey’s length;
Thine aid omnipotent I seek:
Thou art my Strength.
3 I am bewildered on my way,
Dark and tempestuous is the night;
O send Thou forth some cheering ray!
Thou art my Light.
4 When Satan flings his fiery darts,
I look to Thee, my terrors cease;
Thy cross a hiding place imparts:
Thou art my Peace.
5 Thou wilt my every want supply,
E’en to the end, whate’er befall;
Through life, in death, eternally,
Thou art my All.
Amen. Used With Tune: SULLIVAN

Sing to the Lord of Harvest
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-1875 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 121 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:37 Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest,
sing songs of love and praise;
with joyful hearts and voices
your alleluias raise.
By him the rolling seasons
in fruitful order move;
sing to the Lord of harvest
a joyous song of love.
2 God makes the clouds rain goodness,
the deserts bloom and spring,
the hills leap up in gladness,
the valleys laugh and sing.
God fills them with his fullness,
all things with large increase;
he crowns the year with blessing,
with plenty and with peace.
3 Bring to this sacred altar
the gifts his goodness gave,
the golden sheaves of harvest,
the souls Christ died to save.
Your hearts lay down before him
when at his feet you fall,
and with your lives adore him
who gave his life for all.

Author: Mrs. Mary Maxwell Appears in 80 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:38 First Line: Saints of God! the dawn is brightening Lyrics: 1 Saints of God! the dawn is brightening,
Token of our coming Lord;
O'er the earth the field is whitening;
Louder rings the Master's word,--
"Pray for reapers
In the harvest of the Lord."

Breathe upon thy chosen band,
And, with pentecostal measure,
Send forth reapers o'er our land,--
Faithful reapers,
Gathering sheaves for they right hand.
3 Broad the shadow of our nation,
Eager millions hither roam;
Lo! they wait for thy salvation;
Come, Lord Jesus! quickly come!
By thy Spirit,
Bring thy ransomed people home.
4 Soon shall end the time of weeping,
Soon the reaping time will come,--
Heaven and earth together keeping
God's eternal Harvest Home:
Saints and angels!
Shout the world's great Harvest Home.

Come, Labor On
Author: Jane Laurie Borthwick Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Appears in 71 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 9:37-38 Lyrics: 1 Come, labor on.
Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain
while all around us waves the golden grain?
And to each servant does the Savior say,
"Go work today."
2 Come, labor on.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share;
to young and old the gospel gladness bear.
Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly.
The night draws nigh.
3 Come, labor on.
Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear!
No one so weak but may do service here;
Though feeble agents, may we all fulfill
God's righteous will.
4 Come, labor on.
No time for rest, till glows the western sky,
till the long shadows o'er our pathway lie,
And a glad sound comes with the setting sun,
"Well done, well done!" Topics: Discipleship; Gospel Call and Response; Service; Year A Proper 6; Year A Proper 20; Year C Proper 9; Zeal Used With Tune: ORA LABORA
