Tune: | [Work for the Master, toil for the King] |
Composer: | G. Donizetti |
1 Work for the Master, toil for the King,
Strength in his might possessing;
Gifts for his using, hasten to bring,
Plead for the promised blessing.
Serve him with gladness, heeding his call;
Trust him, tho' sunbeams or raindrops fall,
Humbly, sincerely, trust him for all!
Working for Jesus, our Savior.
Chorus:
Servants of Christ, unite heart and hand,
Tell all the world his story;
Gladly obey his royal command;
His the kingdom, the pow'r and the glory!
2 Go with the message given to you,
Tell those who sit in sorrow,
Jesus will bring them comforting true;
Point to the glowing morrow.
Go to the weary, tell them of rest,
Tell of the mansions forever blest,
Till ev'ning shadows darken the west,
Working for Jesus, our Savior. [Chorus]
3 Work for the Master, faithfully bear
Help to a needy neighbor;
Joyful hosannas mingle with prayer,
Knowing for Whom we labor.
Lifting the fallen, finding the lost;
True to our mission, whate'er the cost;
Bring to the haven, souls tempest-tossed,
Working for Jesus, our Savior. [Chorus]
