GATHER THE SHEAVES-S. W. Straub

Harvester, Harvester, Gather Thy Sheaves
}
Harvester, harvester, gather thy sheaves,
The Master is coming this way;
My heart o'er its folly and idleness grieves,
And hours it has squandered away.
Chorus Gather, gather, gather the sheaves,
Bound in the harvest by thee;
O soul, if thy hand hath plucked nothing but leav
es,
O what shall the recompense be?

Harvester, harvester, faithful to God,
Go seek by the wayside and find
The wheat that has grain 'mid the brambles that n
od,
The wheat for the sheaves you would bind.

Harvester, harvester, loiter no more,
But think what the Master would say;
Go gather the sheaves till the harvest is o'er,
Go work with the reapers today.
