There's a Work for Jesus

Author: Elsie D. Yale Hymnal: Timeless Truths #866 Meter: 11.11.11.11 with refrain First Line: There's a work for Jesus, ready at your hand Refrain First Line: Work for Jesus, day by day Lyrics: 1 There’s a work for Jesus, ready at your hand, ’Tis a task the Master just for you has planned. Haste to do His bidding, yield Him service true; There’s a work for Jesus none but you can do. Refrain: Work for Jesus, day by day, Serve Him ever, falter never; Christ obey. Yield Him service loyal, true, There’s a work for Jesus none but you can do. 2 There’s a work for Jesus, humble though it be, ’Tis the very service He would ask of thee. Go where fields are whitened, and the lab’rers few; There’s a work for Jesus none but you can do. [Refrain] 3 There’s a work for Jesus, precious souls to bring, Tell them of His mercies, tell them of your King. Faint not, nor grow weary, He will strength renew; There’s a work for Jesus none but you can do. [Refrain] Scripture: John 4:35 Tune Title: [There's a work for Jesus ready at your hand]
