Lyrics

The har­vest fields are bend­ing
With pre­cious rip­ened grain;
More reap­ers now are need­ed,
Ere Christ comes back again.

Refrain

Harvest time! Har­vest time!
Precious Gos­pel seed is sown.
Reapers go! Reap­ers go!
Jesus, King, must have His own,
His loved ones;
Soon He’ll come! Soon He’ll come!
Come and catch away His bride,
His own!
His own! His own!

The call must now be heed­ed,
We can­not say Him nay;
Since He has died to save them,
We must go forth to­day.

Refrain

We’ll come again re­joic­ing,
A reap­er’s crown to gain;
The Har­vest Home is com­ing,
When Christ comes back again.
