One More Day's Work For Jesus › Representative Texts

1 One more day’s work for Jesus,
One less of life for me!
But Heav’n is nearer,
And Christ is clearer
Than yesterday, to me.
His love and light
Fill all my soul tonigh,
Fill all my soul tonight.

Chorus:
One more day’s work for Jesus;
One less of life for me!
But heav’n is nearer,
And Christ is dearer
Than yesterday to me.

2 One more day’s work for Jesus;
How sweet the work has been,
To tell the story,
To show the glory,
Where Christ’s flock enters in!
How it did shine
In this poor heart of mine,
In this poor heart of mine! [Chorus]

3 One more day’s work for Jesus,
O yes, a weary day;
But Heav’n shines clearer,
And rest comes nearer,
At each step of the way;
And Christ in all,
Before His face I fall,
Before His face I fall. [Chorus]

4 O, blessed work for Jesus!
O rest at Jesus’ feet!
There toil seems pleasure,
My wants are treasure,
And pain for Him is sweet.
Lord, if I may,
I’ll serve another day,
I’ll serve another day. [Chorus]
