Chorus: Well done, well done, O shall we hear the welcome words, well done? Shall we hear the Saviour saying, When we stand before the throne, Well done, my child, well done. 2 There is work to do for Jesus, That should every pow’r employ; May His blessed service please us, More than any earthly joy. There are souls that must not perish, Wand’ring sheep that we may find; Little lambs that we may cherish, Broken hearts that we may bind. [Chorus] 3 O the good beyond all guessing Of a loving deed or look! O the wondrous pow’r of blessing In a word from God’s own Book! Let us spread the great salvation Till the setting of the sun; Then we’ll hear the commendation From the Masters lips, “Well done.” [Chorus] Used With Tune: [When the Master comes in glory]
