Author: Mrs. L. Sigourney, 1791-1865 Appears in 15 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Servants of Christ, arise,
And gird you for the toil!
The dew of promise from the skies
Already cheers the soil.
2 Go where the sick recline,
Where mourning hearts deplore;
And where the sons of sorrow pine,
Dispense your hallowed store.
3 Be faith, which looks above,
With prayer, your constant guest;
And wrap the Saviour's changeless love
A mantle round your breast.
4 So shall you share the wealth
That earth may ne'er despoil,
And the blest gospel's saving health
Repay your arduous toil. Topics: Christian At work; Christian Servant; The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Work, Christian; Work, Christian; Work, Christian; Toil, daily Christian ; Service The Christian ; Sick, visiting the Used With Tune: THATCHER
