Are You Working?

Are you working for the Master,
Are you toiling day by day?
Are you sowing seeds of kindness,
For the reapers on the way?

Hear you not the Master calling,
For glad toilers brave and true?
Will you enter now the harvest,
For the call is unto you?

There’s a work for all, my brother,
Sheaves are falling by the way,
Go you forth into the harvest,
Enter now, without delay.

Author: Fanny Crosby

Year: 1901

Commonly attributed to Fanny J. Crosby (also known as Frances Jane Crosby or Mrs. Van Alstyne). Some hymnals list the author simply as 'Crosby' or leave it unattributed; a few sources suggest possible alternate attributions to other early-20th-century gospel writers, but Crosby is the most frequent and likely credit.
