Work and Pray (Crosby)

Let us work and pray to­ge­ther

With a firm and strong en­dea­vor

Hearts and hands unit­ed ev­er

In the serv­ice of the Lord;

In His con­stant love abid­ing

And to Him our all con­fid­ing

With His gen­tle hand still guid­ing

We shall con­quer through His word.

In the dawn of life’s fair morn­ing

With its smile our path adorn­ing

Let us heed the Mas­ter’s warn­ing:

Time is fly­ing

work to­day.

See the roy­al host ad­van­cing

Armed with zeal

and up­ward glanc­ing

Full of hope and joy en­tranc­ing;

Let us quick­ly haste away.

Come and join the ranks be­fore us;

Hark

their songs are float­ing o’er us

Hear the glad and tune­ful chor­us

How it vi­brates on the air;

Home is near

and toil is end­ing

Soon the mount of joy as­cend­ing

Where the blest their harps are bend­ing

We shall meet our loved ones there.
