Come
labor on!
Who dares stand idle
on the harvest plain
While all around him waves the golden grain?
And to each servant does the Master say
Go work today.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share—
To young and old the Gospel gladness bear;
Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly.
The night draws nigh.
The enemy is watching night and day
To sow the tares
to snatch the seed away;
While we in sleep our duty have forgot
He slumbered not.
Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here:
By feeblest agents may our God fulfill
His righteous will.
No time for rest
till glows the western sky
Till the long shadows o’er our pathway lie
And a glad sound comes with the setting sun
Well done
well done!
The toil is pleasant
the reward is sure;
Blessèd are those who to the end endure;
How full their joy
how deep their rest shall be
O Lord
with Thee!
