Lyrics: Verse 1:
As we labor in God's vineyard
Gath’ ring precious souls to Him,
Let us all with hearts united
Work to bring all safely in.
Lo, the field is white to harvest;
Thrust your sickle in with might.
Lay up sheaves into the garners;
Gather all while there is light.
Verse 2:
God our Father calls His workers
Giving each a spot of ground.
Let us all with equal vigor
Strive to serve where we are found.
Be our labors great or small,
Let us serve the Lord as one;
And with heart and mind committed,
Labor till our work is done.
Verse 3:
Surely now the time doth hasten
For the harvest soon will end.
Though the workers be but few,
God is with us; labor on!
Hold fast now, oh do not slacken!
Behold now the goal in sight.
Those we gather by our labors
Share with us eternal life.
Chorus:
Hearken now the Lord is calling.
Hasten now to labor with Him.
All are needed for the harvest,
Gath ’ring Israel safely in.
