Nothing But Leaves

Author: Mrs. H. S. L. Hymnal: Favorites Number 3 #68 (1951) First Line: The Master is seeking a harvest Refrain First Line: Nothing but leaves for the Master Lyrics: 1 The Master is seeking a harvest In lives He’s redeemed by His blood; He seeks for the fruit of the Spirit, And works that will glorify God. Refrain: Nothing but leaves for the Master, Oh, how His loving heart grieves, When instead of the fruit He is seeking, We offer Him nothing but leaves. 2 He looks for His likeness reflected In lives that are yielded and true; He’s looking for zeal in the winning Of souls He’s entrusted to you. [Refrain] 3 He’s yearning for some one to carry The life-giving word far and near; He’s waiting for hearts that are willing, For ears that are open to hear. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The Master is seeking a harvest]
