Hasten away to the har­vest field,
Work for the Lord to­day;
Go and with glad­ness the sick­le wield,
Work for the Lord to­day.
Hasten, the mo­ments are speed­ing fast,
Soon will the time for your toil be past;
Win the re­ward that doth ev­er last,
Work for the Lord to­day.

Refrain

Work, yes, work to­day,
Work, yes, work to­day;
Go and la­bor with joy in the har­vest field,
Work for the Lord to­day!

Hasten, no long­er with id­lers stand,
Work for the Lord to­day;
Go and ob­ey the di­vine com­mand,
Work for the Lord to­day.
Out in the field where the grain is white,
Gather the sheaves that are gold­en bright.
Fair will they shine in eter­nal light,
Work for the Lord to­day.

Refrain

Labor with those who have borne the heat,
Work for the Lord to­day;
Rest in the eve will be calm and sweet,
Work for the Lord to­day.
Toil with the reap­ers till dusk ap­pears,
Toil tho’ your eyes may grow dim with tears,
Look to the rap­ture of Hea­ven’s years,
Work for the Lord to­day.

Refrain
