I'll bet it was the Harvest time song they used to sing on sunday mornings on the UPCI radio broadcast. Don't know if they still do that or not...I have not listened to harvest time radio in years!
Well I don't believe it! I FOUND that book with my other sheet music. The book was made by Word Aflame press...in 1978!!
Here is their homepage.

I wrote them and told them you were looking for a used copy, so I will see if they write back.
It is on page 72 and 73 if you ever get hold of one....it is the one with the BROWN cover that says Sing unto the Lord in gold letters on the front cover.
Here are the words in case you don't find it.It is in 4/4 time, but I do not know what key it is in as I do not read sheet music.
VERSES 1. I look and see earths golden riches. The hoarding mob for selfish gain. The toil of hands for ease and comfort. I look again and see the falling golden grain.
2. Say not "Four months and then comes the harvest" For ripe the grain ready to yield. Work while it's day for night is coming. Lift up thine eyes and see God's needy harvest Field.
3. And when I stand before the maker, and give account for what I've done. May I then hear him saying to me. "Well done my servant, you the crown have won".
4. Oh, do not sleep while souls are dying. Awake, arise there's much to do. At any price seek hard to win them. And then I'm sure there will be a crown for you.
5. I prayed a prayer "Help me be faithful", in all my work for Christ the king. To never waste a precious moment. Then when at last, I'll all my trophies to him bring.
CHORUS:
Harvest time. Harvest time. The Saviour's calling, the grain is falling. Oh, do not wait, it's growing late, behold the field is white, it's harvest time.
Hope that helps you! Good luck.
