1
O where are the reapers that garner in The sheaves of the good from the fields of sin? With sickles of truth must the work be done, And no one may rest till the harvest's won.
2
Go out in the byways and search them all; The wheat may be there, though the weeds grow tall; Then search in the highway, and pass none by; But gather from all for the home on high.
3
The fields all are ripening and far and wide The wave now is swelling, the harvest tide; But reapers are few, and the work is great, And much will be lost should the harvest wait.
4
So come with your sickles, ye sons of men, And gather together the golden grain; Toil on till the Lord of the harvest come, Then share ye his joy in the harvest home.
C
Chorus
And no one may rest till the harvest's home. The call of the Lord of the harvest; O where are the reapers? O who will come And share in the glory of the harvest home? O who will help us to garner in The sheaves of good from the fields of sin?
