The golden harvest

1. Oh, why should I be idle,
   While there’s so much to do?
   The wheat is ripe to harvest,
   And the laborers are few.
   • Refrain:
     The laborers are few,
     And still there’s much to do;
     The wheat is ripe to harvest,
     And the laborers are few.
2. Oh, why should I be idle?
   The morning sun is high,
   And soon it will be sinking
   Low in the western sky.
3. No I shall not be idle,
   For in God’s word I see:
   “No idlers in My vineyard;
   Go thou and work for Me.”
4. I’ll be no longer idle,
   But faithful I will be;
   I’ll go and work for Jesus,
   I hear Him calling me.
5. Why stand ye all day idle?
   There’s harvesting for all;
   Oh, grasp the flaming sickle,
   And heed the Master’s call.
