87. While We Work for Jesus

1 All around is bright and fair,
While we work for Jesus,
Joy and peace are ev’rywhere,
While we work for Jesus.

Refrain:
Come, O come, this cheerful, happy day;
Come, O come, to Sabbath School away.
All around is bright and fair,
While we work for Jesus,
Joy and peace are ev’rywhere,
While we work for Jesus.

2 Ev’ry face with pleasure beams,
While we work for Jesus,
Ev’ry heart with rapture teems,
While we work for Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Nearer seem the realms above,
While we work for Jesus,
Dearer seems our Savior’s love,
While we work for Jesus. [Refrain]

4 Let us raise a grateful voice,
While we work for Jesus,
And with earnest hearts rejoice,
While we work for Jesus. [Refrain]
