It Is Time to Reap - 224
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!
Only a few days remain
For the reaper.
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,
