Will You Respond?

By M. C. Wilcox

By M. C. WILCOX

“White are the fields,” the Master said, In Judah’s land in the long ago; “Bent is the grain with ripening head, Lightened by sun in its westering glow. O slow of heart and worldly-wise, Look not afar for the harvest time! The harvest’s here. Lift up your eyes — O, reap with God in faith sublime!”

White are the fields, and workers few, In this our day; and the storm cloud grows. God calls to me, and He calls to you. O, work with Him ere the day shall close!

There are longing, hungry, pleading cries, There are empty, gaunt, and outstretched hands, There are eager, anxious, tear-brimmed eyes, Among peoples all, in all the lands. They wait the word and touch of love, That God in love to us has given; They wait the message from above, Of truth and life and home and heaven.
