1 Far and near the fields are teeming with the sheaves of ripened grain; Far and near their gold is gleaming O’er the summy slope and plain. Refrain 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 Send them forth with morn’s first beaming, Send them in the noon-tides’s glare; When the sun’s last rays are streaming, bid them gather everywhere. 3 O thou, whom thy Lord is sending, gather now the sheaves of gold; Heavenward then at evening wending Thou shalt come with joy untold.
