The Day of Harvest
Solos to Sing, Submitted Music (2007-2011)
1. In the cool of the morning He goes to the well
To find those who seek employ
And those he hires to work through the day
Receive their appointment with joy.
As the sun rises higher, They may start to retire
They’re renewed in the promised reward
And the goodness of their Lord.
2. As the day wears away, He returns again;
And again to the heart of town.
He finds at each turn more souls who would earn,
And he hires them and send them down
To the field, where they share In the labors and care,
They rejoice in their work and reward
And the kindness of their Lord.
Chorus
Tis the day of harvest and I would be
A faithful servant, diligently
Serving the master, that I may receive
A fullness of His joy.
3. Now I wonder that I would identify
With those who’ve continued all day;
Do I labor encouraging others to come,
Or fear help diminishes my pay?
Do I truly believe That each may receive
As abundant eternal reward
Through the mercies of our Lord?
4. I have come early, yet I’m coming late
To labor in Christ’s golden field;
Forgotten fragments of my soul
In idleness and sin are revealed.
Ev`ry part of my heart,
To finish, must start,
To come home to my final reward
In the kingdom of The Lord.
Chorus
5. This the day of harvest, and I would be
A faithful servant, diligently
Serving the master, that I may receive
A fullness of His joy.
