Laudes Domini ‎#901

901. Expedition

1 Work while it is to-day!
This was our Saviour’s rule;
With docile minds let us obey,
As learners in his school.

2 Lord Christ, we humbly ask
Of thee the power and will,
With fear and meekness, every task
Of duty to fulfill.

3 At home, by word and deed,
Adorn redeeming grace;
And sow abroad the precious seed
Of truth in every place:--

4 That thus the wilderness
May blossom like the rose,
And trees spring up of righteousness,
Where’er life’s river flows.

5 For thee our all to spend,
Still may we watch and pray,
And, persevering to the end,
Work while it is to-day.
