Christian Workers

Author: Jno. R. Clements Hymnal: Hallowed Hymns, New and Old #21 (1908) First Line: Speed you Christian workers Lyrics: 1 Speed you Christian workers, Speed you forth today; In the might of Jesus Speed away! To the whitened harvest; To the busy plain; With heroic valor Garner in the grain. 2 Speed you Christian workers, Sing the toilers' song; Strew the path with sunshine All day long! Brighten up the duties; Wear a happy smile; For the road to Heaven Is a sunny mile. 3 Speed you Christian workers, Night will follow noon; This the time for labor, Darkness soon! Day for earnest purpose; Day for deeds of love; Bare the arm for action, Loyal servants prove. 4 Speed you Christian workers, Hear the rally call, Jesus leads His forces; Forward all! Where the need is greatest; Where the strife is long, Go with noble courage, And inspiring song. Topics: Endeavor Languages: English Tune Title: [Speed you Christian workers]
