Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel

1 While trav’ling down life’s pathway,
With sin on every hand,
We’re called to loyal service,
To lend a helping hand;
And looking unto Jesus,
Though dark and lone the way—
He says, “Be not discouraged,
I’m with thee all the way.”

Refrain:
Put your shoulder to the wheel in this world of sin;
Put your shoulder to the wheel, help the world to win;
Put your shoulder to the wheel till the battle’s done,
And the vict’ry shall be won.

2 O loyal Christian soldier,
Go fight the hosts of sin,
Determined not to falter
Till ye the vict’ry win;
Go buckle on the armor
Of pray’r and faith and love,
And marching on triumphant,
You’ll reign with Him above. [Refrain]

3 And when our labors ended,
All weary with the fight,
We’ll see our Savior standing,
All clothed in glory bright;
And hear His joyous welcome,
“O weary wand’rer, come!” [Refrain]
And then we’ll sing forever,
With Him around the throne. [Refrain]
