Oh, what have you done for Jesus,
And what are you doing today?
In the morning, at noontide, at even
Are you wasting your time away?
Refrain
Be ready, go while it is morning,
The Master is calling: there’s plenty to do;
The bright golden fields are now waiting,
But Oh, the lab’rers are few!
Oh, what have you done for Jesus,
And what are you doing today?
Are you reaping the rich, golden harvest
Or bearing the sheaves away?
Refrain
Oh, what have you done for Jesus,
And what are you doing today?
Are you safe in the field as a gleaner,
Oh, what are you doing, pray?
Refrain
