É o tempo de segar – 224

It is time to reap, and without hesitation,

É o tempo de segar e tu sem vacilar,

Will you say without fear,

Declaraste sem temor: “Não posso trabalhar?”

“I cannot work”?

Vem, enquanto Cristo, o Mestre, está a te chamar:

Come, while Christ, the Master,

"Jovem, jovem, ó vem trabalhar!"

Is calling you:

“Young man, young woman,

Vem e vê os campos brancos já estão

Oh, come and work!”

Aguardando braços que os segarão;

Jovem, desperta, faz-te pronto e alerta!

Come and see,

Queiras logo responder: “Eis-me aqui, Senhor”

The fields are already white,

Olha que a seara bem madura está;

Waiting for hands to reap them;

Que colheita gloriosa não será!

Young man, young woman, awake,

Jovem, desperta. Faz-te pronto e alerta!

Be ready and alert!

Poucos dias são que restam para o segador!

Answer without delay,

“Here I am, Lord.”

As gavelas que recolhes: jóias de esplendor

See that the harvest

Brilharão na tua coroa, e darão fulgor;

Is fully ripe;

Busca logo essas jóias; Deus é premiador;

What a glorious harvest it will be!

Jovem. jovem, entra no labor!

Young man, young woman, awake,

Be ready and alert!

A manhã já vai passando, não mais voltará;

Only a few days remain

Da colheita o tempo brevemente findará;

For the reaper.

E perante o teu Senhor vazio t’acharás;

Jovem, jovem, obedece já!

The sheaves you gather,

Jewels of splendor,

Will shine in your crown

And give it brightness;

Seek these jewels now,

For God rewards His workers;

Young man, young woman,

Enter the labor!

The morning is already passing

And will not return;

The time of harvest

Will soon come to an end;

And before your Lord

You will be found empty-handed;

Young man, young woman,

Obey now!It is time to reap, and without hesitation,

Will you say without fear,

“I cannot work”?

Come, while Christ, the Master,

Is calling you:

“Young man, young woman,

Oh, come and work!”

Come and see,

The fields are already white,

Waiting for hands to reap them;

Young man, young woman, awake,

Be ready and alert!

Answer without delay,

“Here I am, Lord.”

See that the harvest

Is fully ripe;

What a glorious harvest it will be!

Young man, young woman, awake,

Be ready and alert!

For the reaper.
