Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Hymnal #376 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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; 't is not for nought;
Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain:
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises: what are men?
3 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.
4 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.
