Rouse Ye, Reapers!

Author: Dr. E. T. Cassel Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Lo! The summer sun is spreading gold upon the grain! Refrain First Line: Behold! The fields are waving signal calls to thee! Lyrics: 1 Lo! the summer sun is spreading gold upon the grain! Countless fields are rolling like the billows of the main; All the air is vibrant with a sharp and earnest call, Rouse ye, reapers, there is work for all. Refrain: Behold! the fields are waving signal calls to thee! Arise! Arise! A storm is brooding on the sea, And if you falter or delay, And precious grain be swept away, What will the Lord of harvest say? 2 Cries for help are coming from the fields in foreign lands; Oh, the work that must be done! where are the willing hands? Halting while the Master calls is little short of crime, Rouse ye, reapers, this is harvest time. [Refrain] 3 Soon for you the harvest time will pass beyond recall; Soon a day of reckoning will come to one and all; Bearing sheaves or empty handed is for you to say, Rouse ye, reapers, harvest is today. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Lo! The summer sun is spreading gold upon the grain!]
