Representative Text

1 Christ is urgently calling for workers,
Fields are white—there is reaping to do;
Will you answer the call loving brother,
There’s a place in the harvest for you.

Refrain:
There’s a place in the harvest for you,
There is reaping and gath’ring to do
Do not longer delay,
Work for Jesus today,
There’s a place in the harvest for you.

2 Yield your all to the Saviour for service,
Matters not if your talents are few;
He can make you a river of blessing,
There’s a place in the harvest for you. [Refrain]

3 Ah, then hasten away—no delaying,
For the summertime soon will be through;
Fields are waiting—lost sinners are dying,
There’s a place in the harvest for you. [Refrain]
