Sheet music

  1. 1Far and near the fields are teemingWith the waves of ripened grain;Far and near their gold is gleamingO’er the sunny slope and plain.Lord of harvest, send forth reapers!Hear us, Lord, to Thee we cry;Send them now the sheaves to gather,Ere the harvest time pass by.
  2. 2Send them forth with morn’s first beaming,Send them in the noontide’s glare;When the sun’s last rays are gleaming,Bid them gather ev'rywhere.Lord of harvest, send forth reapers!Hear us, Lord, to Thee we cry;Send them now the sheaves to gather,Ere the harvest time pass by.
  3. 3O thou, whom thy Lord is sending,Gather now the sheaves of gold;Heav’nward then at evening wending,Thou shalt come with joy untold.Lord of harvest, send forth reapers!Hear us, Lord, to Thee we cry;Send them now the sheaves to gather,Ere the harvest time pass by.
