Laboring on the good land, laboring in the morning (Hymn 1167)

Verse 1: Laboring on the good land, laboring in the morning, Laboring through the noontime to the early eve, Laboring for a harvest, reaping all the produce, Coming to the meeting, bringing in the sheaves. Verse 2: Reaping wheat and barley, death and resurrection, Though the loss sustained our old man often grieves; But in life abundant, life in resurrection, Coming to the meeting, bringing in the sheaves. Verse 3: Grain and wine and oil—bringing in the surplus Of the wheat and barley, vine and olive trees: Wine to cause rejoicing, oil to give anointing, Bringing in the top tenth, bringing in the sheaves.
