Representative Text

1 Can I do aught for Jesus,
Aught in his vineyard so fair?
Yes, I will enter his service,
With other workers there.

Refrain:
I will be a faithful toiler!

3 Can I do aught for Jesus,
Can I my powers employ?
Yes, I will faithfully use them;
Toil will be sweet with joy. [Refrain]
