13758. Toilers In The Vineyard

1 We are toilers in the vineyard,
Working for the Lord each day,
And the Master cheers us ever
With His presence by the way.

Refrain:
Toiling now, toiling now,
Working for the Lord on high;
Toiling now, toiling now,
Rest awaits us by and by.

2 We will pray while we are working,
For the power from above,
And for strength to do our duty,
Trusting in the Savior’s love. [Refrain]

3 We will tell to all the story
Of the cross of Calvary,
How the Savior died to save us,
And from bondage set us free. [Refrain]

4 Will you come and join our army,
Fighting ’neath the flag of Heav’n?
King Immanuel will save you—
For your soul His life was giv’n. [Refrain]
