Text:More laborers

898. More laborers

1 Oh, still in accents sweet and strong
Sounds forth the ancient word,--
"More reapers for white harvest fields,
More laborers for the Lord!"

2 We hear the call; in dreams no more
In selfish ease we lie,
But, girded for our Father's work,
Go forth beneath his sky.

3 Where prophets' word, and martyrs' blood
And prayers of saints were sown,
We, to their labors entering in,
Would reap where they have strown.
