Hasten On, Glad Day

Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: Christ in Song #589 (1908) First Line: The world's glorious harvest is fast drawing on Lyrics: 1 The world's glorious harvest is fast drawing on, The Master is calling his reapers to come, The grain bright and golden, in fields far and near, Is ripe for the garner when he shall appear. Chorus: Hasten on, glad day, Bear the sheaves away; Hasten on, glad day, Bear us home. 2 That morn everlasting, that day free from tears Is swiftly approaching as on roll the years; The wheat, rudely scattered by sin's cruel blast, Then hasten to gather e'er autumn be past. [Chorus] 3 O sweet is the labor that floweth from love! A stream never failing, whose Fount is above; 'Tis love that invites us, 'tis love points the field, 'Tis love wields the sickle, and wondrous the yield. [Chorus] Topics: The Home Eternal Harvest Time Languages: English Tune Title: [The world's glorious harvest is fast drawing on]

F. E. Belden

1858 - 1945 Author of "Hasten On, Glad Day!" Belden was born in Battle Creek, Michigan in 1858. He began writing music in his late teenage years after moving to California with his family. For health reasons he later moved to Colorado. He returned to Battle Creek with his wife in the early 1880s, and there he became involved in Adventist Church publishing. F. E. Belden wrote many hymn tunes, gospel songs, and related texts in the early years of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Belden was able to rapidly write both music and poetry together which enabled him to write a song to fit a sermon while it was still being delivered. He also wrote songs for evangelist Billy Sunday. Though Belden’s later years were marred by misunderstandings with the church leadership over his royalties, he did donate his papers and manuscripts to the church’s seminary at his death. He died on December 2, 1945 in Battle Creek, Michigan. N.N., Hymnary. Source: http://www.hymntime.com/tch/bio/b/e/l/belden_fe.htm
