The Work We Love

We come to­ge­ther here

once more

To sing and speak and pray;

None should be idle in God’s house

On this His ho­ly day.

We are pass­ing on­ward

To our Fa­ther’s dwell­ing;

Onward

for­ward to the bet­ter land!

When we cross the riv­er

We shall dwell for­ev­er

In the land of para­dise at God’s right hand.

Oh

how de­light­ful here to meet

A cheer­ful

hap­py throng

To learn of wis­dom from God’s word

And join in glad­some song.

This is a work we love so well

Sinners to win—our call

For Jesus died to save the lost

And grace is free for all.

Soon will our la­bors have an end

And we’ll be called to go

To be with Christ

and all the good

Where liv­ing wa­ters flow.
