Far and Near the Fields Are Teeming

  1. Far and near the fields are teeming
    with the waves of ripened grain;
    far and near their gold is gleaming
    o’er the sunny slope and plain.
    Lord of harvest, send forth reapers;
    hear us, Lord, to thee we cry;
    send them now the sheaves to gather,
    ere the harvesttime pass by.
  2. Send them forth with morn’s first beaming,
    send them in the noontide’s glare;
    when the sun’s last rays are gleaming,
    bid them gather ev’rywhere.
    Lord of harvest, send forth reapers;
    hear us, Lord, to thee we cry;
    send them now the sheaves to gather,
    ere the harvesttime pass by.
  3. Thou whom Christ the Lord is sending,
    gather now the sheaves of gold;
    heav’nward then at evening wending,
    thou shalt come with joy untold.
    Lord of harvest, send forth reapers;
    hear us, Lord, to thee we cry;
    send them now the sheaves to gather,
    ere the harvesttime pass by.
