Free from sorrow, free from sin;
Heaven's morning breaks,
And earth's vain shadows flee; There, for ever purified, In Thy garner to abide:
In life, in death, Come, with all Thine angels, come,
O Lord, abide with me! 5/5 Raise the glorious harvest home! 4/4
HOME HOME

509 Come, ye thankful people, 510 Where are the reapers
come Verse 1

Verse 1 See the fields of ripening grain,
Come, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song Scattered over hill and plain,
of harvest home! The harvest is plentiful,
All is safely gathered in, The labourers are few,
Ere the winter storms begin; The Saviour waits and waits for you.

God, our Maker, doth provide Chorus
For our wants to be supplied; Where are the reapers?
Come to God's own temple, come; Where are the reapers?
Raise the song of harvest home! 1/4 Who will go to work today?
The ripening harvest is waiting,
Verse 2 Who will bear the sheaves away? 1/3
All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield; Verse 2 There is so much to be done There is
Wheat and tares together sown, room for everyone.
Unto joy or sorrow grown; The harvest of the kingdom Means work, watch
and pray.
First the blade, and then the ear, And claim those who have gone astray.
Then the full corn shall appear;
Lord of harvest, grant that we Chorus
Wholesome grain and pure may be. 2/4 Where are the reapers?
Where are the reapers?
Verse 3 Who will go to work today?
For the Lord our God shall come, The ripening harvest is waiting,
And shall take His harvest home; Who will bear the sheaves away? 2/3
From His field shall in that day
All offenses purge away; Verse 3
Then when our work is done,
Give His angels charge at last And we lay our burdens down, We'll all hear the
In the fire the tares to cast, gracious sound, of god's chosen One:
But the fruitful ears to store "Good and faithful servants, well done!"
In His garner evermore. 3/4
Chorus
Verse 4 Where are the reapers?
Even so, Lord, quickly come; Where are the reapers?
Bring thy final harvest home; Who will go to work today?
Gather Thou Thy people in, The ripening harvest is waiting,
