Representative Text

1 Strive to be doing some good ev’ry day,
Sowing the seed by the way;
Life will be fleeting and soon will be past,
Work while the daytime shall last.

Refrain:
Working for Jesus each day,
Striving His word to obey,
Seeking for strength when we pray,
Sowing the seed by the way.
Working for Jesus each day,
Striving His word to obey,
Seeking for strength when we pray,
Sowing the seed by the way.

2 Strive to be doing the work of the Lord,
Learning His will from the word;
Oft, but a smile that in kindness is giv’n,
Helps some poor soul on to heav’n. [Refrain]

3 Strive to be leading a life fill’d with love,
Looking to Jesus above;
Lift up the fallen, the weary and sore,
Point to the wide open door. [Refrain]

4 Strive to be cheerful in all that you do;
Christ will your passions subdue.
Jesus will help you, will point out the way,
Watch, and forget not to pray. [Refrain]
