Verse 1
In the harvest field we are toiling today. Beneath the blazing sun; But the load of life will pass away, When eternity has begun; As we bear our load we are thinking of home, Beyond life's setting sun; When the sun sinks low, we shall homeward go, When the reaping is done.
Verse 2
O, the fields are white and the laborers few, So let us watch and pray; That the needed labor we may do, In the vineyard while yet 'tis day; Up in heaven's land, at the Savior's right hand, All tasks forever done; No more burdens there, we shall ever share, When the reaping is done.
Verse 3
When the shadows fall and the close of life's day, Shall end our toiling here; When our Lord shall take His own away, They shall never know want nor fear; When the mighty throng gather 'round the white throne, Will you, that day, be one? Are you saved from sin, will you enter in, When the reaping is done?
Chorus
When the reaping is done, and the harvest is o'er, At the set of life's sun; We shall labor no more, Serving faithfully, Till the life crown's won, What a joy 'twill be, When the reaping is done.
