Go join in the soul cheering strain; Make haste, for the summer is waning, Go work in the vineyard again; No time to be idle or slumber; Go forth, for the workers are few; O sinner there’s room in the vineyard, The Master is calling for you.

Refrain: Hear the Master say, “Go and work today, For the lab’rers still are few;” Shall His earnest cry pass unheeded by, When there’s work for all to do? 2 Go! the hungry feed, and the weary lead To the rest of Jesus’ love; Tho' your strength be small, God is over all, With a blessing from above; Seek for souls to win from the ways of sin; Work with cheerful heart and true; And the jewels rare that have been your care, Shall at last be given to you. [Refrain] 3 Go and work today; O do not delay, For the night is coming on; And the least you do shall be blest to you, If for Jesus it is done; Tho' the seeds that fall may be few and small, They shall not be sown in vain; In the garnered sheaves, which the Lord receives, Will be found the ripened grain. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Hear the Master say, Go and work today]
