| - | |
| - | |
| Hast thou then been called to labor | B |
| In the vineyard of thy Lord | C |
| With the promise that if faithful | D |
| Thou shall win a sure reward | C |
| Look the tireless sun is hasting | E |
| Toward the zenith and the day | F |
| Which in vanity thou'rt wasting | E |
| Speedeth rapidly away | F |
| - | |
| Lo the field is white for harvest | G |
| And the laborers are few | H |
| Canst thou then oh slothful servant | I |
| Find no work that thou canst do | H |
| Sitting idle in the vineyard | A |
| Sleeping while the noon day flies | J |
| Dreaming while with every pulse beat | K |
| Some unsaved one droops and dies | J |
| - | |
| Waken overburdened lab'rers | J |
| Fainting in the sultry ray | F |
| Cry against thee to the Master | B |
| As thou dream'st the hours away | F |
| Waken patient angels bearing | E |
| Home Earth's harvest grieving see | J |
| One by one the bright hours waning | E |
| And no sheaf secured by thee | J |
| - | |
| And at last when toil is ended | L |
| And the blessed Harvest home | M |
| By exulting angels chanted | N |
| Cheers the lab'rers as they come | O |
| What wilt thou do slothful servant | I |
| With no gathered sheaf to bring | E |
| How canst thou stand empty handed | L |
| In the presence of thy King | E |
| - | |
| Lo the field is white for harvest | G |
| And the laborers are few | H |
| Canst thou then oh slothful servant | I |
| Find no work that thou canst do | H |
| Angels wait to bear the tidings | J |
| Of some good that thou hast done | P |
| Then to patient earnest labor | B |
| Waken ere the set of sun | P |
