| 1 ‘Mid Christian hosannas, O’er conquering banners, There breaks on our shouting a desolate cry; With pitiful moaning, With sorrowful groaning, The guilty implore us for help ere they die. Refrain: Oh, work while ‘tis day, For the light flees away, And the hand of the toiler will soon work no more; But the faithful will rise To the Lord in the skies, With the plaudit, “Well done,” when the toiling is o’er. 2 Oh, up and be doing, Our duty pursuing, Nor drown with rejoicing the wailing of woe; Our hearts will be lighter, Our path will be brighter, The nearer our Master’s own footprints we go. [Refrain] 3 With watching and praying, No longer delaying, We’ll follow with gladness the voice of our Lord; The field is before us, The crown is just o’er us, And working for Jesus brings precious reward. [Refrain] | The Bright Array #122 (1889) |
