32. If We Will

1 There is work to do
That awaits for you,
There are fields for Christ to till;
Never doubt or fear,
For the Lord is near,
We can do it, if we will!

Refrain:
There is work that must be done,
There are vict’ries to be won;
There are souls to win
From the paths of sin;
We can do it, if we will!

2 There are souls to win
From the paths of sin;
Does the way grow darker still?
Never doubt or fear,
God Himself is near!
We can do it, if we will! [Refrain]

3 There’s a world to light
In the path of right,
There are souls with grace to fill;
Till the great “Well done”
Of the vict’ry won—
We can do it, if we will! [Refrain]
