THE HARVEST IS GREAT

The harvest is great and plentiful

But the lab'rers are very few,

So go in my name, reach out and proclaim:

"The kingdom is near to you".

Nothing for your journey take,

No staff, no bag, no bread.

But my peace you give them and

The words that I have said.

Sow my seed along the path,

The rock, the thorns, good soil.

Some may wither, some may grow

And bring forth hundredfold.

See the harvest white with grain:

The time to reap has come.

Look, the winepress is so full,

The vats now overflow.

Live the "secret" you impart:

That death gives way to life.

How the cross of Christ destroys

The wisdom of the wise!
