Author: F. S. S. Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Working for the Master Refrain First Line: Working for the Master Lyrics: 1 Working for the Master, In his vineyard now; For the work he gives us He will grace bestow. Tho' the work be humble, We can loyal be; If we're always faithful, We shall fruitage see. Chorus: Working for the Master, Working day by day; Loyal to his bidding, Faithful all the way. 2 Take our hearts and efforts, Bless them to thy praise; That we may bless others, Thro' life's changing ways. Help us not to waver In the way of love, But when clouds shall gather, Ever look above [Chorus] 3 While the moments linger, Ere the day departs, Help us call the lost ones; Master, touch their hearts. And when thou shalt gather All thy people home, May we there greet many We have urged to come. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Working for the Master]

Held a Bachelor of Music degree and was ordained to the Advent Christian ministry. He held pastorates at Hudson Falls, New York and Lawrence, Mass.

He contributed to the preparation of several of its hymnals, and was co-editor of The Golden Sheaf (1898), Carols of Hope (1906) and The Advent Christian Hymnal (1913). His obituary, by Willis G. Brown, is in The World's Crisis, 20 October 1915, p. 15. --Leonard Ellinwood, DNAH Archives
