Working, Watching, Praying

Go forth! go forth for Je­sus now—

Be work­ing! be watch­ing!

The Lord Him­self will teach you how

To watch and pray.

’Tis not for thee thy field to choose—

No work He gives must thou re­fuse—

Be work­ing! be watch­ing! be pray­ing!

Go forth to work—to watch and pray!

’Tis Je­sus who calls thee—

The har­vest waits for thee to­day—

Go bring some sheaves for God.

Go forth! go forth to all the world!

Oh

stay not! de­lay not—

But let Love’s ban­ner be un­furled

And grace be told.

Oh

let re­deem­ing love be sung—

A song of joy on ev­ery tongue!

Be work­ing! be watch­ing! be pray­ing!

Go forth! let heart and hand be strong!

Be work­ing! be watch­ing!

Oh

stay the migh­ty pow­er of wrong

Where’er ye may.

Equipped with love and strength di­vine

The vic­to­ry is sure­ly thine—

Be work­ing! be watch­ing! be pray­ing!
