1 Ever let thy hand be busy, Lay the threads out one by one; Ever ply time’s ceaseless shuttle, Till life’s work is nobly done.
Chorus: Work then for the blessed Master! He is with thee day by day; Be Thou faithful to thy calling; Work away! yes, work away!
2 Never heed the idlers round thee, Watchful be with patient eye; Mark thou well the noble pattern, And thy life-work beautify. [Chorus]
3 Hand and eye must work together, Standing ‘neath a light divine; Thou shalt bring a lasting service, And the “Well done” shall be thine.
