Laboring on Jesus, the good land so real

lyricist: Adapted
Composer: Carl Harold Lowden

Laboring on Jesus

the good land so real

Plowing and planting and watering the field.

He yields the produce of reality

God reaps a harvest of Jesus in me.

O Jesus! You’re God’s good land

For me to labor on!

I’ll bit by bit possess You

Until the whole is won!

With Canaan is God’s purpose

The labor He will bless;

Lord Jesus

here I gain Yourself

Your Person to possess.

Laboring on Jesus! My heart has been set

Labor’s begun

and I have no regret

For with my labor God’s sending the rain

And all my labor on Christ yields much gain.

Laboring on Jesus this practical way—

Praying His Word in the spirit each day

Foll’wing His living anointing within

Built up with others

the church life to win.

Laboring on Jesus yields reality

Meetings of fullness for all men to see;

There God and man are indeed satisfied

And there God’s presence cannot be denied.

Labor on Jesus to have Him increased!

Then seek God’s dwelling and come to the feast!

There bring and offer your surplus to God

There eat the riches

rejoice in the Lord!
