Haste Away

Composer: Onie Francis, 1918

Rouse

oh! reap­ers

up and haste away

Ready

will­ing

Je­sus to obey;

You are need­ed

see the fields are white;

Take your sic­kle

reap with all your might;

Haste

for the reap­ers

alas! are so few

And in His serv­ice be true.

Haste

for the reap­ers

alas! are so few

And in His serv­ice be true.

Haste unto the world­wide harvest field

Help to garner in the price­less yield;

Faithfulness show­ing

bless­ings be­stow­ing

Serving with trust and love;

Falter not and nev­er wea­ry be

Give your best un­til eter­ni­ty

Joyfully sing­ing

reap­ing and bring­ing

Souls to the Lord above.

Time is pre­cious

do not idle stand

Haste away with will­ing heart and hand;

Christ in mer­cy will always be near

You to strength­en

com­fort

help and cheer;

Trusting and pray­ing

oh! make no de­lay

Forth to the har­vest away!

Trusting and pray­ing

oh! make no de­lay

Forth to the har­vest away!

Haste

oh! reap­ers

ere the day­light flies

Glean some sheaves eter­nal for the skies.

Let not Christ for reap­ers call in vain

And in world­ly idle­ness re­main;

All who are faith­ful in serv­ing the Lord

Surely ob­tain their re­ward.

All who are faith­ful in serv­ing the Lord

Surely ob­tain their re­ward.
