There’s Much We Can Do
Author: Mrs. E. C. Ellsworth Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.2 #83 (1889) First Line: There’s much we can do if we work with a will Refrain First Line: No time to be wasted for many the fields Lyrics: 1 There’s much we can do if we work with a will,
No time to be wasted today;
The Master is ready our labors to bless,
And wages he offers to pay.
Refrain:
No time to be wasted for many the fields,
And laborers, as ever, are few;
Away to the work that is needing a hand!
So much! O so much we can do!
2 So much we can do in the sowing of seed,
Some fields are yet barren and waste,
The foe will be busy in spreading the tares,
Then go, and be working with haste. [Refrain]
3 So much we can do in the reaping of wheat,
Some fields for the harvest are white;
So much may be lost when the harvest is past,
If left to the mildew and blight. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There’s much we can do if we work with a will]
