Sheet music
- 1Go, in early morning, into the harvest white,Sing a song of gladness labor with all your might;Let the words of Jesus over the nation ring,With the coming evening beautiful gleanings bring.See (See you there,) the beautiful harvest white!Go, (Go, ye there,) and labor with all your might;Let (Let them there) your anthems of gladness ring,Go, (Go, ye now,) and beautiful gleanings bring!
- 2For the faint and weary, carry a smile of cheer,With the sad and dreary, weeping an anxious tear;To the heart that's aching under a load of care,Lend a hand of comfort, cover its ailings there.See (See you there,) the beautiful harvest white!Go, (Go, ye there,) and labor with all your might;Let (Let them there) your anthems of gladness ring,Go, (Go, ye now,) and beautiful gleanings bring!
- 3In the name of Jesus, gather the sheaves today,Read the precious promise, wages, He you will pay;Go with great rejoicing gleaning from fields of sin,Thrust thy glowing sickle, bringing the harvest in.See (See you there,) the beautiful harvest white!Go, (Go, ye there,) and labor with all your might;Let (Let them there) your anthems of gladness ring,Go, (Go, ye now,) and beautiful gleanings bring!
