Author: Mrs. L. H. Sigourney Hymnal: Gospel Hymns No. 5 #109 (1887) 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 sorrow pine,
Dispense your hallowed lore.
3 By faith, which looks above,
With pray’r, your constant guest,
And wrap the Saviour’s changeless love
A mantle round your breast.
4 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: AHIRA
Laborers of Christ, Arise
