  O Christian! do not falter, The harvest field is white, And many souls are sinking Into eternal night. Refrain The harvest bells are ringing, We hear them night and day; The harvest bells are pealing, Go work, and watch, and pray; The harvest bells are pealing, Go work, watch, pray. O reapers! quickly gather The precious golden sheaves, That day and night are falling Like autumn’s withered leaves. Refrain So few we find the lab’rers, The harvest, oh, how great! Then slumber not, dear Christian, For soon ’twill be too late. Refrain

Ever the Master is calling, Hasten! the shadows are falling; On to the harvest field, Gather the golden yield, Precious sheaves. Refrain Hark! hark! comes the song, On! on! join the throng; Forth with joyful, loving heart, Bravely do your part; Hark! hark! rings the call; Haste! haste! one and all; On where the harvest stands, Waiting for willing hands Souls to win. Forward with hearts full of gladness, Reapers, I pray you, make haste; Grain there is ready and waiting, If not soon gathered, will waste; Then let us hear you replying, Labor with courage undying, Send up a word of cheer, Tell of the rest so near, Rest at home. Refrain Hark to the song they are singing! See, they have treasures so rare; Soon will the harvest be ended, Haste, then, their trophies to share. Let no one be idly dreaming, Look! look! the harvest is gleaming, Join ye the reaping band, Lend them a helping hand, Ere the night. Refrain

• [Joh 21:15] O Jesus, Jesus

  O Jesus, Jesus, dearest Lord! Forgive me if I say, For very love, Thy sacred Name A thousand times a day. Refrain O Jesus, Lord, with me abide; I rest in Thee, whate’er betide; Thy gracious smile is my reward; I love, I love Thee, Lord! I love Thee so I know not how My transports to control; Thy love is like a burning fire Within my very soul. Refrain Burn, burn, O love, within my heart, Burn fiercely night and day, Till all the dross of earthly loves Is burned, and burned away. Refrain O light in darkness, joy in grief, O heav’n begun on earth; Jesus, my Love, my Treasure, who Can tell what Thou art worth? Refrain What limit is there to this love? Thy flight, where wilt Thou stay? On, on! our Lord is sweeter far Today than yesterday. Refrain

• [Joh 21:15] She Loved Her Savior

  She loved her Savior, and to Him Her costliest present brought; To crown His head, or grace His Name, No gift too rare she thought. And though the prudent worldling frowned, And thought the poor bereft; Christ’s humble friend sweet comfort found, For He approved the gift. The poor are always with us here, ’Tis our great Father’s plan That mutual wants and mutual care May bind us man to man. So let the Savior be adored, And not the poor despised, Give to the hungry from your hoard, But all, give all to Christ. Go, clothe the naked, lead the blind, Give to the weary rest; For sorrow’s children comfort find, And help for all distressed. But give to Christ alone Thy heart, Thy faith, Thy love supreme, Then for His sake Thine alms impart, And so give all to Him.
