The Loyal Call

A call to loy­al work­ers

Is sound­ing o’er the land;

Awake! Arise! the time is short

The Lord

He is at hand!

Take up the cross for Je­sus

On Him fix heart and eyes

Then in His grace suf­fi­cient

Press for­ward to the prize.

Awake! loy­al work­er

To the work while you may;

In God’s name to con­quer

He’s call­ing to­day.

The prize is life eter­nal

With Je­sus cru­ci­fied;

’Twas on the cross in ago­ny

For us He bled and died;

Then

work­ers

look to Je­sus

For help to ov­er­come

And then in that fair morn­ing

He’ll say to thee

Well done.

Come

work­ers

look around you

The Mas­ter calls to­day;

Whate’er thy hand shall find to do

Haste

now the call obey!

Bear no­bly all for Je­sus

And in His strength ab­ide

Then bless­èd be the ef­forts

To win for Him a bride.

O loy­al be to Je­sus

In word and thought and deed;

Then grand­ly will the work go on

Where work­ers sow the seed;

Thro’ Christ our bless­èd ma­ster

We vic­t’ry shall at­tain;

Then in that morn so soon

We’ll reap the gold­en grain.
