Representative Text

1 Do something for Jesus, believer,
Some talent was given to you;
Whatever in life is your station,
There’s something or other to do.

Refrain:
Do something for Jesus,
Do something for Jesus,
Oh, work in His vineyard, I pray;
Bring one to believe Him,
To love and receive Him,
Do something for Jesus today.

2 Why stand you so idle and listless?
Oh, rouse you, dear Christian, take heed;
The weak and the erring are near you,
The sick and the helpless in need. [Refrain]

3 The harvest so swiftly is passing,
There’s work for the feeble and strong;
And following after the Savior,
There’s work for the old and the young. [Refrain]
