Lyrics

In the har­vest field now rip­ened
There’s a work for all to do;
Hark! the voice of God is call­ing
To the har­vest call­ing you.

Refrain

Little is much when God is in it!
Labor not for wealth or fame.
There’s a crown—and you can win it,
If you go in Je­sus’ name.

In the mad rush of the broad way,
In the hur­ry and the strife,
Tell of Je­sus’ love and mer­cy,
Give to them the Word of Life.

Refrain

Does the place you’re called to la­bor
Seem too small and lit­tle known?
It is great if God is in it,
And He’ll not for­get His own.

Refrain

Are you laid aside from ser­vice,
Body worn from toil and care?
You can still be in the bat­tle,
In the sac­red place of pray­er.

Refrain

When the con­flict here is end­ed
And our race on earth is run,
He will say, if we are faith­ful,
Welcome home, My child—well done!
