| 1 Work in the harvest that for you calls; Gathering sheaves for Jesus, Work till the twilight around you falls, Gathering sheaves for Jesus; Hasten, O hasten, delay no more, Garner for heaven the golden store, Work till the season of toil is o’er, Gathering sheaves for Jesus. Refrain: Gathering sheaves, Gathering sheaves, Find in life’s harvest divine employ, Bringing the soul everlasting joy, Rapture that never shall know alloy, Gathering sheaves for Jesus. 2 Reap, for the harvest-field lies worldwide, Gathering sheaves for Jesus, Serve with the faithful ones side by side, Gathering sheaves for Jesus; Tho’ you toil hard thro’ the burning heat, Laying bright grain at the Master’s feet, You will have won benediction sweet, Gathering sheaves for Jesus. [Refrain] 3 Patiently toil in the field of time, Gathering sheaves for Jesus, Laying up treasure for realms sublime, Gathering sheaves for Jesus; Tho’ you oft weary and faint may be, And with dim eyes oft your tasks may see, Labor in faith for eternity, Gathering sheaves for Jesus. [Refrain] | The Service of Praise #132 (1900) |
