47. Work for Your Master

1 Work for your Master, work while you may,
Broad is the field before you--
Sweet is the dawn of life's early day,
Beaming in beauty o'er you.

Refrain:
Work till the toil of the day is done,
Speak of the sin forgiven;
Sing of the starry crown to be won;
Pray till you praise in heaven.

2 Speak for your Master, speak while you may,
Now, while the world will hear you;
It shall be given what you shall say,
Feeling his presence near you. [Refrain]

3 Sing for your Master, sing of his love;
Sing of the mercies given;
Song is the language of saints above,
Song is the breath of heaven. [Refrain]
