The crop pre­pared its fruit to yield;
While the fields then are white with har­vest,
Go work, for the har­vest is near,
Ripening fields ap­pear in view,
There’s plen­ty to do;
Look up! be­hold, the fields are white,
The har­vest tru­ly, Lord, is great;

The la­bor­ers are few

We there­fore come be­fore Thee now
Let us strive well to fill the gar­ner,
Soon Je­sus our mas­ter in joy will ap­pear,
Lord, in­crease the lit­tle band,
There’s weed­ing and fenc­ing, and clear­ing of roots,
The ga­ther­ing of the har­vest must
Convert, and send forth more
