The Jewel ‎#52

52. Work and Pray

1 We have come to Jesus praying,
Lord, redeem us from all sin;
And his precious voice is saying,
"Let the little ones come in."

Refrain:
Oh, there's work for all to do,
Will you pray and labor too?
Oh, there's work for all to do,
Will you pray and labor too?

2 Breathe a pray'r for ev'ry nation,
Where the waves of darkness roll:
Send the message of salvation,
It may save some captive soul. [Refrain]

3 From the fold of Jesus, blindly,
Loving hearts are led astray;
Tell them, ever tell them kindly,
Jesus is the truth, the way,
Oh, there's work for all to do,
Will you pray and labor too?
