Author: J. O. Thompson Hymnal: Christ in Song #547 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: Far and near the fields are teeming Refrain First Line: Lord of harvest, send forth reapers! Lyrics: 1 Far and near the fields are teeming
With the sheaves of ripened grain;
Far and near their gold is gleaming
O'er the sunny slope and plain.
Chorus:
Lord of harvest, send forth reapers!
Hear us, Lord, to thee we cry;
Send them now the sheaves to gather,
Ere the harvest time pass by.
2 Send them forth with morn's first beaming,
Send them in the noontide's glare;
When the sun's last rays are streaming,
Bid them gather ev'rywhere. [Chorus]
3 O thou whom thy Lord is sending,
Gather now the sheaves of gold,
Heav'nward then at evening wending
Thou shalt come with joy untold. [Chorus] Topics: Living His Life Call to Activity Languages: English Tune Title: [Far and near the fields are teeming]
