Verse 1

We are laborers in the harvest field, We will work with our might today; While our Savior says there is work to do, We will bear the sheaves away.

Chorus

Go work, all must work, We will work with our might today; For the wheat may fall in the woods so tall, We will bear the sheaves away.

Verse 2

Tho’ the fight be long, and our foes be strong, We will work in God’s highway; And we’ll help the weak, and will soothe the sick, This will bear the sheaves away.

Chorus

Go work, all must work, We will work with our might today; For the wheat may fall in the woods so tall, We will bear the sheaves away.

Verse 3

Then we’ll brave the fight, for we know we’re right, And our Savior leads the way; We will sing and work, and no duty shirk, We will bear the sheaves away.

Chorus

Go work, all must work, We will work with our might today; For the wheat may fall in the woods so tall, We will bear the sheaves away.
