The Waving Harvest

Representative Text

1 Thro' the white and waving fields,
Now we go with beautiful song,
That the blessed gospel light lost sinner may see;
That its glorious truth may shine,
With its grace and power divine,
And in the harvest glad toilers for Jesus we ever would be.

Refrain:
Gospel in song unto you we bring,
Of the great love of Jesus we sing;
Beatiful grain is wasting, we see,
And in the harvest glad toilers for Jesus we ever would be.

2 Proudly we this message tell
To the soul now burdened with sin,
That in Jesus there is peace, and wondrously free;
That if on Him they believe,
He their aching hearts will relieve,
And in the harvest glad toilers for Jesus we ever would be. [Refrain]

3 Willing hands and hearts we give,
As we voice those beautiful songs,
That the white and waving fields here gathered may be;
That the gospel's joyful sound,
We may send to nations around,
And in the harvest glad toilers for Jesus we ever would be. [Refrain]
