1 Hear the loving voice of Jesus,
Saying kindly unto all,
In My vineyard go and labor,
And obey the earnest call.

Refrain:
Work for Jesus in His vineyard
While the morning sun is bright;
For the day will soon be ended,
Soon will fall the shades of night.

2 Give to Jesus faithful labor,
Sow the precious seed divine;
And the fruitage of the harvest
Shall rejoice that heart of thine. [Refrain]

3 We must ever toil for Jesus,
And along the ages dim,
Angel bands will reap the fruitage,
Gathering up the fruit for Him. [Refrain]
