1 Fill ev’ry day with work for the Master!
Joy surely comes from duty well done;
Gladly the will of Jesus obeying,
Doing your best ere setting of sun.
Refrain:
Serving the Master, faithful and loyal,
Happy at heart His bidding to do;
Fill ev’ry day, no time to be wasted,
Loving and helping all the way through.
2 Look all around, so many are waiting,
Stumbling along where safely you tread;
Lend them a hand while rough is the pathway,
Point to the love-light shining ahead. [Refrain]
3 Fill ev’ry day with work for the Master!
Blessed are those who hear and obey,
Giving their time and talents to Jesus,
Keeping in touch with Him all the way. [Refrain]

Lizzie De Armond was a prolific writer of children's hymns, recitations and exercises. When she was twelve years old her first poem was published in the Germantown, Pa. Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
