The Jewel ‎#71

71. Never Grow Weary

1 We must never grow weary, doing well, doing well,
Though in time we may reap no reward;
For Eternity will tell--yes, Eternity will tell,
What a blessing rests on those who serve the Lord.

Chorus:
O ye stars! shine on, shine on!
Far up in heaven's own blue,
Some time, some time,
I too may shine, I may shine
As brightly as you!

2 We must bear the yoke daily:--Jesus says,
"It is easy, my burden is light;"
For he knows how frail we are, yes, he knows how frail we are,
And he helps us through the day and through the night. [Chorus]

3 All the stars o'er us shining in the sky.
And the sun and the moon do His will;
And we know that by and by, if to serve him well we try,
With a brighter glow our spirits he will fill. [Chorus]

4 We must ever be watchful!--for to-day
May, for you, and for me, be the last
So the work we'll not delay, but we'll labor, and we'll pray.
Till the sunset hour of life is safely passed. [Chorus]
