Work and Pray (Burr)

Up

friends of Je­sus

the har­vest now is white

Work will soon be ov­er

fast falls the shade of night;

Strong in His strength

let us bind the gold­en sheaves

Could we meet the Mas­ter with naught but leaves?

Work and pray

yes

work and pray

Let the watch­word pass along

Work and pray

now while ’tis day

Come and join our hap­py throng.

Up

friends of Je­sus

for time will soon be o’er

Harvest days are pass­ing to come again no more.

Wake from re­pose

hear the Mas­ter call­ing still

Rise to ear­nest ef­fort with right good will.

Shout

friends of Je­sus

for when our work is done

Joyful we will ga­ther to greet the har­vest home;

Then let us hast­en the gold­en sheaves to bind

Rest and life eter­nal we all shall find.
