Our Father’s Business

Let us be about our Fa­ther’s bu­si­ness

Every day

as we go

On our way here be­low:

Never let it suf­fer thro’ re­miss­ness

But seek to make it thrive and grow.

Then re­spond to the call

He has use for us all

And His work is a la­bor of love;

And the days soon will come

In the great Har­vest Home

For our rest and re­joic­ing above.

Do you ask what is the work He sends us?

’Tis what­e’er we can do

’Tis to bear and be true

And to use the tal­ents that He lends us

That oth­ers may ac­cept Him too.

When in Heav­en and the toil is end­ed

Oh

what bliss it will be

In that place then to see

Those dear souls whom we on earth be­friend­ed

And led to Him who made them free.
