English Lyrics
Verse 1
Far and near the fields are teeming With the sheaves of ripened grain; Far and near their gold is gleaming O'er the sunny slope and plain.
Chorus
Lord of harvest, send forth reapers! Hear us, Lord, to Thee we cry; Send them now the sheaves to gather, Ere the harvest time pass by.
Verse 2
Send them forth with morn's first beaming, Send them in the noontide's glare; When the sun's last rays are streaming, Bid them gather everywhere.
Verse 3
O thou, whom thy Lord is sending, Gather now the sheaves of gold Heavenward then at evening wending Thou shalt come with joy untold.
