| Text: | The Call for Reapers |
| Author: | John O. Thompson, 1782-1818 |
| Tune: | [Far and near the fields are teeming] |
| Composer: | J. B. O. Clemm, 19th Century |
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)
