Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Hymnbook #283 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Go, labor on: spend and be spent Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on: spend, and be spent,
Thy joy to do the Father's will:
It is the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on while it is day:
The world's dark night is hastening on;
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away;
It is not thus that souls are won.
3 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray,
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway,
Compel the wanderer to come in.
Amen. Topics: Church Workers; Constancy; Discipleship; Perseverance; Purpose; Life in Christ Discipleship and Service Scripture: Matthew 21:28 Tune Title: PENTECOST
