The Field is the World

Author: C. H. G. Hymnal: Assembly Songs #59 (1910) First Line: The reapers are loudly singing Refrain First Line: Join in the song that is wafted along Lyrics: 1 The reapers are loudly singing, As out in the harvest field They gather the grain from valley and plain, With willing and tireless hands. The winds from afar come bringing Glad news of abundant yield, Of work to be done, of souls to be won For God at His own command. Refrain: Join in the song that is wafted along, And gather the grain from him and from plain For garners beyond the sky. 2 “The field is the world,” O reaper, There’s plenty for all to do; Arise and begin the work that shall win For you an immortal crown. The Lord is thy guide and keeper, With grace to carry you thro’; He calls you today, then trust and obey, And reap till the sun goes down. [Refrain] 3 The Master hath all commanded, To labor and watch and pray; To diligent be, and faithful, if we Would share in the vict’ries won; Then why will you empty handed Appear, at the close of day, Accounting to give, and hope to receive, A blessing for nothing done? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The reapers are loudly singing]

Chas. H. Gabriel

1856 - 1932 Person Name: C. H. G. Author of "The Field is the World" in Assembly Songs Pseudonyms: C. D. Emerson, Charlotte G. Homer, S. B. Jackson, A. W. Lawrence, Jennie Ree ============= For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday­-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades. Bert Polman
