68. Toiling for the Master

1 Toiling for the Master in the fields around me,
Gathering souls for Jesus, He who died for me;
Working in His vineyard, since His mercy found me;
Toiling for the Master, since He set me free.

Refrain:
Toiling for the Master,
Toiling till the day is done;
Patiently toiling for the Master,
Toiling till the day is done.

2 Toiling for the Master, what a blessed duty!
Gathering souls for Jesus, I am not dismayed;
Working in His vineyard, growing in His beauty,
Toiling for the Master, richly I am paid. [Refrain]

3 Toiling for the Master,—love makes labor lighter;
Gathering souls for Jesus, walking by His side;
Working in His vineyard, every day grows brighter,
Toiling for the Master, with Him I abide. [Refrain]
