At Harvest Time
EDWARD J. URQUHART
"THE fields are white to harvest,"
I hear the Master say.
"Why stand ye all day idle?
Go forth and work today.
"Go forth unto the harvest.
The eleventh hour has come;
And soon, with sheaves all gathered,
The harvest will be home.
"Go forth unto the harvest
Before the shadows fall,
Before the storm's wild fury
Casts darkness over all.
"Oh, see! The storm is breaking!
Perceive the setting sun,
While in the world's broad acres
The harvest waits—undone!
"Go forth, then, to the harvest,
Where sin its captives claims,
Tell them of Christ, the Saviour,
His liberty proclaim."
All tender and intreating
I hear the Master say;
"Why stand ye all day idle?
Go forth and work today."
