Verse 1
You summon me to follow in the summer
The fields need workers at the heat of day
You never said that Gospel work was easy
But You will give me strength if I obey
Chorus
I wish that I could serve You in the springtime
When morning laughs and gentle breezes sing
But the prize ahead is worth a lifetime’s labor
Even if – if there is no spring
Verse 2
You summon me to follow in the autumn
To gather in the golden harvest grain
Before the dying leaves have lost their color
Before the fading daylight starts to wane
Repeat chorus
Verse 3
You summon me to follow in the winter
The snow has fallen and the fields are bare
This task is so much longer than a lifetime
And younger workers need to get prepared
Repeat chorus
Tag
Spring will come and I will hear Your voice
When the shadows flee and we rejoice
