Work with All Your Might, Boys

Work with all your might

boys; God de­mands your best!

Labor is en­ab­ling

makes the toil­er blest;

Girls

too

in life’s mis­sions

cher­ish great am­bi­tion!

Put your heart

and soul

and strength in all you do!

Work

work

work with all your might!

Work

work

toil as in God’s sight!

Every task is glo­ri­ous

make your life vic­tor­ious;

Up and con­quer

do and dare

in God’s great name!

Victories great await you in some glo­ri­ous task;

Powers to win God of­fers all who work and ask;

Day and night un­ceas­ing strive with strength in­creas­ing;

Up and con­quer

do and dare

in Heav’n’s own might!

Dream not of the hon­ors that sur­round the great;

Do the task be­fore you—who can judge its fate?

With a cour­age ho­ly and a spir­it low­ly

Glorify the small­est deeds

and make them grand.

Everything is lof­ty in God’s won­drous plan;

Make your in­fluence felt

then; brave it like a man!

Great or low your call­ing

with a zeal en­thrall­ing

Raise it up to heights sub­lime in God’s own name!
