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!
There is much for me to do;
Lo, the harvest field’s already white
And the lab’rers are few.

2 Can I do aught for Jesus?
White is the harvest today?
Yes, I will toil with the workers,
Bearing the sheaves away. [Refrain]

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]
