1 There’s work that is waiting, oh, do not delay,
To Jesus be loyal and true;
Your service is needed, and duties await
That no one can do but you!

Refrain:
No one but you, no one but you,
Will you be loyal and true?
There’s work to be done, that souls may be won,
That no one can do but you.

2 Go forth with the toilers! the harvest is ripe!
Away to the fields that are new!
In highway or byway some mission you’ll find,
That no one can do but you! [Refrain]

3 The moments so fleeting will never return,
Your labor with patience pursue;
Wait not for some other to join in a task
That no one can do but you! [Refrain]

Telegraph, however, it was not until she was a widow with eight children to support that she started writing in earnest. She wrote articles, librettos, nature stories and other works, as well as hymns.
