Ripening Together

Verse 1

Together they are growing, The wheat beside the tares; The sunshine of God's mercy For harvest each prepares.

Chorus

They are ripening, ripening, Ripening for the harvest; The wheat for the garner, The tares for the burning, The reapers soon will come.

Verse 2

E'en now the fields are whitened, And ready do appear For work of angel reapers, The harvest must be near.

Verse 3

Let us improve each moment, In love and works abound; That we may in the harvest Among the wheat be found.
