| 1 High on his everlasting throne The King of saints his work surveys, Marks the dear souls he calls his own, And smiles on the peculiar race. 2 He rests well-pleas'd their toils to see Beneath his easy yoke they move, With all their heart and strength agree In the sweet labour of his love. 3 See where the servants of their God, A busy multitude, appear, For Jesus day and night employ'd, His heritage they toil to clear. 4 The love of Christ their hearts constrains, And strengthens their unwearied hands, They spend their sweat, and blood, and pains, To cultivate Immanuel's lands. 5 Jesus their toil delighted sees, Their industry vouchsafes to crown, He kindly gives the wish'd increase, And sends the promis'd blessing down: 6 The sap of life, the Spirit's powers, He rains incessant from above, He all his gracious fulness showers, To perfect their great work of love. 7 O multiply thy sower’s seed, And fruit we every hour shall bear, Throughout the world thy gospel spread, Thine everlasting truth declare; 8 We all in perfect love renew'd Shall know the greatness of thy power, Stand in the temple of our God As pillars, and go out no more. | The Cyber Hymnal #2413 African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #225 (2011) Hymns, Selected and Original: for public and private worship (1st ed.) #560 (1828) The A.M.E.
