Little Reapers
Appears in 24 hymnals First Line: We are little reapers Refrain First Line: Toiling, toiling, toiling all the day Lyrics: 1 We are little reapers,
Toiling thro’ the day,
Lab’ring in the harvest
O’er the stony way;
Gleaning ‘mong the thistles,
Searching thro’ the rain,
Fitting for the garner
Bright and golden grain.
Toiling, toiling, toiling all the day,
Toiling, toiling in this happy way.
Gleaning ‘mong the thistles,
Searching thro’ the rain,
Fitting for the garner
Bright and golden grain.
2 We are little reapers,
In the fields of sin,
Striving for the Master
Precious souls to win;
Pointing them to Jesus,
To the Lamb of God;
Following His footsteps
In the paths He trod.
Toiling, toiling, toiling all the day,
Toiling, toiling in this happy way.
Pointing them to Jesus,
To the Lamb of God;
Following His footsteps
In the paths He trod.
3 We are little reapers,
In the harvest field,
Truth and right the sickles
That we there do wield;
And we labor ever,
‘Neath our Father’s eye,
Gathering the bright sheaves
For the home on high.
Toiling, toiling, toiling all the day,
Toiling, toiling in this happy way.
And we labor ever,
‘Neath our Father’s eye,
Gathering the bright sheaves
For the home on high. Used With Tune: [We are little reapers]

John T. Grape
1835 - 1915 Person Name: Jno. T. Grape Composer of "[We are little reapers]" in Jewels of Praise John Thomas Grape USA 1835-1915. Born at Baltimore, MD, he became a successful coal merchant. He married Sophia F MacCubbin, and they had one daughter, Agnes. He was a member of Monument St. Methodist Church in Baltimore, where he played the organ, directed the choir, and was active in the Sunday school. Later, he directed the choir at the Hartford Avenue Methodist Church. The hymn noted below was composed by Grape in 1868, with lyrics composed by Envina Mable Hall of the same church in 1865 while sitting in the choir loft during a sermon. Both words and music had been given to the pastor, Rev George W Schreck, at different times, and one day he remembered he had been given both. Grape's tune had a refrain, so Ms Hall, hearing it, then added words to her poem for that, and the hymn was complete. At Schreck's urging they sent the hymn to Professor Theodore Perkins, publisher of “Sabbath Carols” periodical, and it became popular. Grape died in Baltimore.
