1 Anhelo trabajar por el Señor;
confiando en su palabra y en su amor;
quiero yo cantar y orar,
y ocupado siempre estar
en la viña del Señor.

Estribillo:
Trabajar y orar,
en la viña, en la viña del Señor;
pues mi anhelo es orar,
y ocupado siempre estar
en la viña del Señor.

2 Anhelo cada día trabajar,
y esclavos del pecado libertar,
conducirlos a Jesús,
nuestro guía, nuestra luz,
en la viña del Señor. [Estribillo]

3 Anhelo ser obrero de valor,
confiando en el poder del Salvador.
El que quiera trabajar
hallará también lugar
en la viña del Señor. [Estribillo]
