Representative Text

1 Another year of labor,
And labor not in vain;
For while the seed we've planted,
God gave the promised rain.
His love has been our comfort,
His strength has been our stay,
Hold fast His hand, march onward,
Still trusting day by day.

2 Hold fast His hand, march onward,
The reaping soon will come,
And then our harvest bearing,
We'll gladly gather home.
Toil on, O Christian workers,
To each and all we say,
Hold fast His hand, march onward,
Still trusting day by day.

3 O blessed, blessed harvest
Of souls for Christ our King,
When we who toil in weakness
With joy our fruit shall bring.
Then let us not be weary,
But work and watch and pray;
Hold fast His hand, march onward,
Still trusting day by day.
Amen.
