A Handful of Leaves
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Living Hymns #190 (1890) Hymnal Title: Living Hymns First Line: What! sitting at ease when there's work to be done! Refrain First Line: Oh, look on the fields, that already are white Lyrics: 1 What! sitting at ease when there’s work to be done!
The best of the day half its circuit has run;
Yon orb to its zenith rides forth in the sky;
What! sitting at ease and the harvest so nigh!
Chorus:
Oh, look on the fields, that already are white;
The Lord hath commanded to work in the light;
Beware lest, instead of the bright, golden sheaves,
We bring to him only a handful of leaves.
2 What! sitting at ease, leaving others the toil
Of training the vineyard and tilling the soil;
This truth in our mind let us constantly keep,
From seed that we scatter the fruit we shall reap. [Chorus]
3 What! sitting at ease, when a burden of care
Our brother has borne we might help him to bear;
Oh, let us be earnest, and work while we may,
The Master is calling, arise and away. [Chorus]
4 No longer at ease we are folding our hands,
But, willing to do what the Saviour commands,
We’ll work till the harvest, then gather the sheaves,
And bring to him more than a handful of leaves. [Chorus]
