Long Hymnal: Great Revival Hymns #110 (1911) First Line: The fields are white to harvest, but the laborers are few Refrain First Line: To the harvest field away Lyrics: 1 The fields are white to harvest, but the laborers are few, Do not idle, do not loiter by the way; Lo, the Master calls for reapers, and the Master calls for you, Go labor in my harvest-field today.

Day soon is past,—night falls so fast— To the harvest field, to the harvest field, To the harvest field away, To the harvest field to the harvest field, away! 2 The fields are white to harvest, but the laborers are few, See, the sun is in the zenith—haste away! There are sheaves which must be garnered, there is work for all to do, Go labor in my harvest-field today.

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Composer of "[The fields are white to harvest, but the laborers are few]" in Great Revival Hymns Pseudonyms: C. D. Emerson, Charlotte G. Homer, S. B. Jackson, A. W. Lawrence, Jennie Ree ============= For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades. Bert Polman
