Nothing to Do

G. Bachlund

The fields are white;

The laborers are few;

Yet say the idle:

There's nothing to do.

Jails are crowded;

In Sunday-schools few;

We still complain:

There's nothing to do.

Drunkards are dying --

Your sons, it is true;

Mothers' arms folded

With nothing to do.

Heathens are dying;

Their blood falls on you;

How can you people

Find nothing to do?
