Leave not for tomorrow
the work of to-day,
For time, like an arrow,
is speeding away;
The harvest is ready,
look out on the plain;
Go, thrust in the sickle
and gather the grain.
Go, gather the golden grain,
Go, gather the golden grain;
The harvest is ready,
look out on the plain;
Go, gather the golden grain.
Leave not for tomorrow
the work of to-day,
The moments are precious,
then why should we stay?
The Master is calling
again and again;
Go, thrust in the sickle
and gather the grain.
Go, gather the golden grain,
Go, gather the golden grain;
The harvest is ready,
look out on the plain;
Go, gather the golden grain.
Leave not for tomorrow
the work of to-day,
The summer is waning,
no longer delay;
The sheaves for the reaping
wave bright o’er the plain;
Go, thrust in the sickle
and gather the grain.
Go, gather the golden grain,
Go, gather the golden grain;
The harvest is ready,
look out on the plain;
Go, gather the golden grain.
