Refrain: O, the near and bright tomorrow: What a meeting will be ours, When we clasp our hands forever In a vale of song and flowers. 2 Here are burdens we must carry For ourselves and others, too; But we have the Savior’s promise That our strength He will renew. Thro’ the many clouds that gather We can see the dawning ray Of a near and bright tomorrow, That will never pass away.

Foster Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Workers in the Master’s vineyard Refrain First Line: Crowns and stars await thy coming Lyrics: 1 Workers in the Master’s vineyard, Toilsome though the way may be, Scatter, early morn and evening, Far and wide the precious seed. In the byways and the hedges, On the narrow, crowded street, You may drop a word of welcome, For the Savior’s coming feet. Refrain: Crowns and stars await thy coming, Over on the golden shore, Precious fruits of thine own sowing, When thine earthly work is o’er. 2 Smiling lips and tearful eyelids; Gentle words and simple song, Oft, perhaps, by thee unheeded, Fall in blessings on the throng. Hearts that pine in sin and sorrow, Blighted sore by care and want, May be led, by love and kindness, To the ever healing fount. [Refrain] 3 Heart and voice may ofttimes fail thee, Faith may waver, hope may die; God has promised to go with thee, Work and trust, He’s ever nigh. Crown and stars await thy coming, Over on the golden shore. Precious fruits of thine own sowing, When thine earthly work is o’er.

O my soul, delay no more; Get ye ready for His coming Ere the Lord is at thy door. 2 Soul, if thou shouldst hear Him knocking Now, this moment, wouldst thou say, Lo, the Lord is come, and gladly Haste His summons to obey? Ah, I fear in bitter anguish Thou wouldst face a sinner’s fate, Thou wouldst plead that one day longer, Or an hour, the Lord would wait. [Refrain] 3 In a moment when ye know not! Soul of man, no more delay; Get ye ready for His coming, Lest that coming be today. Now—this hour—for when He cometh Vainly thou wilt bid Him wait; I have warned thee, He will answer, Thou repentest all too late. [Refrain] Used With Tune: TOULOUSE
