See the har­vest­ers reap­ing!
Idle they ne­ver stand;
They are faith­ful­ly keep­ing,
Keeping the Lord’s com­mand.

Refrain

Reaping, reap­ing,
Chanting a hope­ful strain!
Go and help them la­bor,
Reaping the gold­en grain.

See the har­vest­ers reap­ing,
Many be they or few!
And, if smil­ing or weep­ing,
Toiling the whole day through!

Refrain

See the har­vest­ers reap­ing,
Gathering all they may!
Sheaves of life they are keep­ing,
Ready to bear away!

Refrain

See the har­vest­ers reap­ing,
Reaping the har­vest vast;
Though the sha­dows be creep­ing,
Still they are work­ing fast!

Refrain

See the har­vest­ers reap­ing,
Patient, and brave, and true!
Be not idle, nor sleep­ing,
When there is work to do.
