16213. In The Vineyard Of The King

1 There’s a call for will­ing work­ers
From the King of kings above,
And we an­swer Him with lov­ing hearts to­day.
For He free­ly died that sin­ners
Might be lift­ed by His love,
And, re­joic­ing, go along the shin­ing way.

Refrain:
Faithful ser­vice where He needs us
Is what we in­tend to give,
And with voic­es glad His prais­es we will sing;
In the bright­ness of His pre­sence,
For His glo­ry we will live,
Faithful ser­vants in the vine­yard of the King.

2 Sin is ev­ery­where abound­ing,
And His need of us is great,
For He wants the lost and sad to trust His love.
So for Je­sus we will la­bor,
On our Sav­ior we will wait,
Pointing lost ones to the mer­cy seat above. [Refrain]

3 We will show our love for Je­sus
Wheresoever we may be,
Till the or­der comes to lay our bur­dens down,
For we want to sing His prais­es
Through the glad eter­ni­ty,
And re­ceive from Him the ev­er­last­ing crown. [Refrain]
