Christ in Song ‎#576

576. Toiling On

1 To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,
Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;
With the word of his counsel our strength to renew,
Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.

Chorus:
Toiling on, toiling on,
Toiling on, toiling on,
Let us hope, let us watch,
And labor till the Master comes.

2 To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed;
To the Fountain of Life let the weary be led;
In the cross and its banner our glory shall be,
While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!" [Chorus]

3 To the work! to the work! there is labor for all,
For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall;
And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be
In the loud swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!" [Chorus]

4 To the work! to the work! pressing on to the end,
For the harvest will come, and the reapers descend;
And the home of the ransom'd our dwelling will be,
And our chorus forever, "Salvation is free!" [Chorus]
