Author: Lydia H. Sigourney Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10544 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Laborers of Christ, arise,
And gird you for the toil;
The dew of promise from the skies
Already cheers the soil.
2 Go—where the sick recline,
Where mourning hearts deplore,
And where the sons of penury pine,
Dispense your hallowed lore.
3 Urge with a tender zeal
The erring child along
Where peaceful congregations kneel,
And pious teachers throng.
4 Be faith, which looks above,
With prayer, your constant guest;
And wrap the Savior’s changeless love
A mantle round your breast.
5 So shall you share the wealth
That earth may ne’er despoil,
And the blest Gospel’s saving health
Repay your arduous toil. Languages: English Tune Title: LEIGHTON
Laborers Of Christ, Arise
