Toilers in the Vineyard

lyricist: Anthony Showalter, 1898
Composer: J. T. Gulledge

We are toil­ers in the vine­yard

Working for the Lord each day

And the Mas­ter cheers us ev­er

With His pre­sence by the way.

Toiling now

toil­ing now

Working for the Lord on high;

Toiling now

toil­ing now

Rest awaits us by and by.

We will pray while we are work­ing

For the pow­er from ab­ove

And for strength to do our du­ty

Trusting in the Sav­ior’s love.

We will tell to all the sto­ry

Of the cross of Cal­va­ry

How the Sav­ior died to save us

And from bond­age set us free.

Will you come and join our ar­my

Fighting ’neath the flag of Heav’n?

King Im­ma­nu­el will save you—

For your soul His life was giv’n.
