Look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
John 4:35
Words: William E. Penn, in New Harvest Bells, edited by Mrs. William E. Penn, W. H. Morris & Elisha A. Hoffman (Eureka Springs, Arkansas: Mrs. William E. Penn, 1900), number 1.
The fields are white to harvest,
The grain is falling fast,
And soon the time of reaping
Forever will be past.
Refrain
The harvest bells! oh, how they ring;
To one and all they say,
O come, the blessèd Gospel sing,
Come work and watch and pray.
Come over then and help us,
The harvest bells do say,
Come quickly to the rescue
;
This call we must obey.
Refrain
Then do not tarry longer,
Make haste,
the bells do say,
As everywhere they’re ringing,
Work while ’tis called today.
Refrain
Then let us pray and labor
Until the end we see,
’Till every friend and neighbor
From Satan shall be free.
Refrain
