15914. Work, Work For God

1 There is work for every one,
Work, work, work for God;
Soon the seed time will be gone,
Work, work for God.
God, in whom we live and move,
Bids thee all thy time improve;
Show thy faith in works of love:
Work, work for God.

2 Scatter, broadcast precious seed,
Work, work, work for God;
To temptations give no heed,
Work, work for God.
Do not mind what others say,
Ever keep the narrow way;
Work, while it is called today:
Work, work for God.

3 Be thyself first pure in heart,
Work, work, work for God;
Then thy joy to all impart,
Work, work for God.
Tell the story of the cross,
Counting earthly things but dross.
Thou shalt never suffer loss:
Work, work for God.

4 Work, for God will make you strong,
Work, work, work for God;
All results to Him belong,
Work, work for God;
Find thy joy in God’s sweet will,
Every promise He’ll fulfill,
And His peace will keep thee still:
Work, work for God.
