Ho, reaperS of lifr's harvest,

Until the night draws around thee,
And day begins to fade?
Why stand We idle waiting,
For reaperS more to come,
The golden morn is passing,
Why set We Idle, dumb?
Thrust i'll your Sharpened sickle,
And gather in the grain,
The Iii ght is fast approaching,
Asil soon will come again.
The Master calls for reap-rS,
And shall he call i'll vain?
Shall sheaveS lie there ungitherel
And waste upon the plain.
Mount up the height of wisdom.
And crush each error, Lord:
Keep back no words OF knowledge
That human hearts should know.
BE faithful to thy mission,
In service of thy Lord:
And then i golden chuplct
Shall be thy just reward.
