Representative Text

1 See the shining fields of waving grain,
See the harvest fields so white!
Overspreading ev'ry hill and plain,
See the harvest fields so white!

Chorus:
There is work each may do,
Work for me, work for you,
And the lab'rers are so very few
In the harvest fields so white!

2 Hear the Saviour, as he calleth thee
To the harvest fields so white!
"Come and labor earnestly for me
In the harvest fields so white!" [Chorus]

3 Haste! the Master's urgent call obey,
See the harvest fields so white!
Quickly join the reaper's ranks today
In the harvest fields so white! [Chorus]
