1 Harvest fields are waiting, white the waving grain;
Christ the Master calleth, soon the day will wane.
Hasten at His bidding, join the reaper band,
Help them at their labor, work with willing hand.

Refrain:
Harvest fields are waiting, labor while you may;
Time is swiftly flying, dome and work today.

2 Harvest fields are waiting, do not linger long;
Borne upon the breezes, comes the reaper’s song.
Patiently, O toiler, pluck the golden grain,
Ere the shades of evening fall o’er hill and plain. [Refrain]

3 Harvest fields are waiting: who will come today,
Join the band of reapers, bear the sheaves away?
Soon the day of toiling will be ever past;
May the Master’s greeting be "Well done" at last! [Refrain]
