Lyrics

1. The Lord of harvest beckons, His ripened corn to reap. The evening sun is setting, a soul now seeks its sleep. Through many years of labour, that soul finds sweet repose where peace is ever present and God all things controls.
2. The soul, led by His counsel, in wonder will survey the blessings there presented to all who go His way. Directed by His Spirit, the soul, so richly blest, the fruits of faith will harvest and enter heav'nly rest.
3. As pilgrim you have carried a cross oft hard to bear. The load has now been lifted and gone is earthly care. The eventide has fallen, completed is your task. To dwell with overcomers, what more could one then ask!
4. What joy when you behold Him and feel His fond embrace. To see your faith rewarded and meet Him face to face! He grants eternal blessings for trust and faith you've shown; He grants to all the faithful a place before His throne.
