Daily work we find to do;
Scattered gleanings we may gather,
Though we are but weak and few;
Little clusters, little clusters,
Help to fill the basket too.
2 Toiling early in the morning,
Catching moments through the day,
Nothing small or lowly scorning,
While we work, and watch, and pray;
Gathering gladly, gathering gladly,
Free-will offerings by the way.
3 Not for selfish praise or glory,
Not for objects nothing worth,
But to send the blessèd story
Of the Gospel o'er the earth,
Telling mortals, telling mortals
Of our Lord and Saviour's birth.
4 Up and ever at our calling,
Till in death our lips are dumb,
Or till sin's dominion falling,
Christ shall in His kingdom come,
And His children, and His children
Reach their everlasting home.
5 Steadfast, then, in our endeavor,
Heavenly Father, may we be;
And forever, and forever,
We will give the praise to Thee;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Singing all eternity.
Amen. Topics: For Children Languages: English Tune Title: [In the vineyard of our Father]

Person Name: Anon. Author of "In the vineyard of our Father" in Missionary Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
