1 Be earnest, my brothers, in word and in deed, Be active in reaping and sowing the seed; And thus in the vineyard, with Jesus to lead, Be always abounding in the work of the Lord.
Refrain: Be always abounding in the work of the Lord, Be always abounding in the work of the Lord; Be earnest, be active, relying on his word, Be always abounding in the work of the Lord.
2 Be ready, my brothers, his call to obey, In seeking the erring and showing the way; And thus as his servants, remember, we pray, Be always abounding in the work of the Lord. [Refrain]
3 Be zealous, my brothers, the light to extend, And unto all nations the gospel to send; And thus, till the harvest in glory shall end, Be always abounding in the work of the Lord.
