Work for the Lord Today

Hasten away to the har­vest field

Work for the Lord to­day;

Go and with glad­ness the sick­le wield

Work for the Lord to­day.

Hasten

the mo­ments are speed­ing fast

Soon will the time for your toil be past;

Win the re­ward that doth ev­er last

Work for the Lord to­day.

Work

yes

work to­day

Work

yes

work to­day;

Go and la­bor with joy in the har­vest field

Work for the Lord to­day!

Hasten

no long­er with id­lers stand

Work for the Lord to­day;

Go and ob­ey the di­vine com­mand

Work for the Lord to­day.

Out in the field where the grain is white

Gather the sheaves that are gold­en bright.

Fair will they shine in eter­nal light

Work for the Lord to­day.

Labor with those who have borne the heat

Work for the Lord to­day;

Rest in the eve will be calm and sweet

Work for the Lord to­day.

Toil with the reap­ers till dusk ap­pears

Toil tho’ your eyes may grow dim with tears

Look to the rap­ture of Heav­en’s years

Work for the Lord to­day.
