Sheet music

  1. 1Stand no longer idle, heed the call;Go to work for Jesus, one and all;Fields are waiting for your hands today;Take up your sickles and speed away.Go into the field, gather up the yield,(Go,)Labor for the Lord, gain the great reward.(Go,)Reapers, the hours are speeding,Jesus your help is needing,Shall He call in vain?
  2. 2Go into the field, gather up the yield,(Go,)Heed His loving plea, true to Jesus be(Go,)Love for the Master showing, work while the sun is glowing, gather now the grain.Go into the field, gather up the yield,(Go,)Labor for the Lord, gain the great reward.(Go,)Reapers, the hours are speeding,Jesus your help is needing,Shall He call in vain?
  3. 3There to shield and help you He will be;Fruitage of your labors you shall see;His dear voice shall cheer you thru the day;Singing a carol, O speed away.Go into the field, gather up the yield,(Go,)Labor for the Lord, gain the great reward.(Go,)Reapers, the hours are speeding,Jesus your help is needing,Shall He call in vain?
  4. 4Jesus will reward for what you do,Life’s fair crown of glory give to you,Perfect rest when ends life’s little day;Reapers, get ready and speed away.Go into the field, gather up the yield,(Go,)Labor for the Lord, gain the great reward.(Go,)Reapers, the hours are speeding,Jesus your help is needing,Shall He call in vain?
