Lyrics

Are you work­ing for the Mas­ter,
Are you toil­ing day by day?
Are you sow­ing seeds of kind­ness,
For the reap­ers on the way?

Hear you not the Mas­ter call­ing,
For glad toil­ers brave and true?
Will you en­ter now the har­vest,
For the call is unto you?

There’s a work for all, my bro­ther,
Sheaves are fall­ing by the way,
Go you forth in­to the har­vest,
Enter now, with­out de­lay.
