Go Into the Field › Representative Texts

1 Stand no long­er idle, heed the call;
Go to work for Je­sus, one and all;
Fields are wait­ing for your hands to­day;
Take up your sick­les and speed away.

Refrain:
Go in­to the field, ga­ther in the yield;
Labor for the Lord, gain the great re­ward;
Reapers, the hours are speed­ing,
Jesus your help is need­ing;
Shall He call in vain?
Go in­to the field, reap the gold­en yield;
Heed His lov­ing plea, true to Je­sus be;
Love for the Mas­ter show­ing,
Work while the sun is glow­ing;
Gather now the grain.

2 There to shield and help you He will be;
Fruitage of your la­bors you shall see;
His dear voice shall cheer you thru the day;
Singing a car­ol, O speed away. [Refrain]

3 Jesus will re­ward for what you do;
Life’s fair crown of glo­ry give to you;
Perfect rest when ends life’s lit­tle day;
Reapers, get ready and speed away. [Refrain]
