Lyrics

The fields are white, the har­vest waits
The reap­er’s hand to gar­ner in
The sheaves of good for Christ the Lord,
From out those earth­ly fields of sin.

Refrain

Go bring them in, go bring them in,
The souls for whom Christ died;
Tell out the news, the bless­èd news,
Of our Re­deem­er cru­ci­fied.

Go ye in­to the whole wide world,
And teach of Christ to men un­done;
Till He shall ev­ery­where be known,
And ma­ny souls to Him be won.

Refrain

To those that work, the blest reward,
As stars they shall for­ev­er shine:
When I shall all My jew­els count,
In that glad day they shall be Mine.
