Author: John O. Thompson, 1782-1818 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #435 (1957) First Line: Far and near the fields are teeming Refrain First Line: Lord of the harvest, send forth reapers! Lyrics: 1 Far and near the fields are teeming
With the waves of ripened grain;
Far and near their gold is gleaming
O'er the sunny slope and plain.
Refrain:
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 gleaming,
Bid them gather everywhere. (Refrain)
3 O thou, whom thy Lord is sending,
Gather now the sheaves of gold;
Heavenward then at evening wending,
Thou shalt come with joy untold. (Refrain) Topics: Soul Winning; The Christian Way of Life Christian Missions Languages: English Tune Title: [Far and near the fields are teeming]
