The dew of promise from the skies Already cheers the soil. 2 Go where the sick recline, Where mourning hearts deplore; And where the sons of sorrow pine, Dispense your hallowed store. 3 Be faith, which looks above, With prayer, your constant guest; And wrap the Saviour's changeless love A mantle round your breast. 4 So shall you share the wealth That earth may ne'er despoil, And the blest gospel's saving health Repay your arduous toil.

Coffin Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #47 (1885) Topics: Christian Work First Line: There is work for everyone Lyrics: 1 There is work for everyone, Work, work, work for God; Soon the seed time will be gone, Work, work for God. God, in whom we live and move, Bids thee all thy time improve, Show thy faith by works of love, Work, work for God. 2 Scatter broadcast precious seed, Work, work, work for God; To temptations give no heed, Work, work for God. Do not mind what others say, Ever keep the narrow way, Work, while it is called today, Work, work for God. 3 By thyself first pure in heart, Work, work, work for God; Then thy joy to all impart, Work, work for God. Tell the story of the cross, Counting earthly things but dross, Thou shalt never suffer loss, Work, work for God. 4 Laud the right, condemn the wrong, Work, work, work for God; All results to Him belong, Work, work for God. Find thy joy in God’s sweet will, Every promise He’ll fulfill, And His peace will keep thee still, Work, work for God. Languages: English Tune Title: [There is work for everyone]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Topics: Christians Work & Service Arranger of "[O land of rest, for thee I sigh]" in Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman

His early life was spent in Rush County, Indiana, where he first began to play the violin, furnishing the music for many a dance. While the ball was going on he was converted, ceasing to play in the middle of the piece he was performing. Very soon thereafter he entered the ministry of the Christian Church. On the 11th of January, 1855, he married Miss Martha Finley. Most of his time after entering the ministry was spent in the West and South, and on account of his wonderful vocal powers he was called the "singing evangelist." As a singer he was considered, in some respects, equal to Sankey and Bliss. reporters of the press al spoke of his singing as something wonderful. Soon after beginning to preach, he began to compose and to write music. His first song was "The Shining Ones," still popular. He published at different times five singing-books: "Shining Pearls," "Golden Gate," "Sparkling Jewels," "The Gospel Trumpet," and the "Morning Star." "Bringing in the Sheaves" was one of the last songs from his hand. His last meeting was held in Dallas, Texas, in May 1878. He was killed by a railroad accident, going from Dallas to McKinney, on the 7th of June, 1878. During his ministry he baptized over eleven thousand persons. --A History and Biographical Cyclopedia of Butler County, Ohio. Cincinnati, 1882. DNAH Archives
