Excerpt from The Gospel in All Lands: January, 1890 Lift up your eyes - behold the task to which The Master calls. Earth's fields the reapers wait, And low much golden grain is bending now So low that fallen, soiled, and stained it lies Because no hand has gleaned The harvests ripe Invite thy love, thy prayer, thy toil. Before Thine eye and near thine hand the burdened plains Are spread. Thy zeal for souls, thine earnest zeal He asks, who loved and lived and bled and died Salvation to secure for thee and thine. The cost, so great. He freely paid; endured 83101117, war! 5t0rg The cross; despised the shame: so deep the joy He found in pain and travail of his soul For sons of men - for thee! And now he looks To thee, and with a voice so tender, sweet With truest love. He bids thee enter now The Opened gates to gather sheaves for him. Blood-purchased are these waiting fields and sealed His own with all the weight of crushing shame He bore for thee and them.
