Author: Mrs. E. C. Ellsworth Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.4 #165 (1894) First Line: Why stand ye here idle? Work presses today Refrain First Line: Find something to do, something, yes, something to do Lyrics: 1 Why stand ye here idle? Work presses today,
Find something to do;
The field is enlarging, the lab’rers are few,
There always is something or other to do,
Yes, something to do.
Refrain:
Find something to do, something, yes, something to do.
Why stand ye here idle? work presses today,
Find something to do.
2 Don’t say you are busy, too old, or unfit,
That’s nothing to you;
He surely has some kind of calling for you,
He surely has something or other to do,
Yes, something for you. [Refrain]
3 Then up and away! in the vineyard today,
Christ waiteth for you;
His love should remind you, and gratitude speak,
The debt you are owing should press you to seek
For something to do. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Why stand ye here idle? Work presses today]
