The Cyber Hymnal ‎#7623

7623. The Work Must Go On

1. A glad message rings thro’ the world today,
It echoes thro’ the countries afar,
That the rising Sun, with celestial ray,
Scatters healing where’er men are.

Refrain
The good work must go on and on,
Till the world for the Lord is won,
Greater triumphs must be gained,
Greater heights in love attained,
Till the glorious day of God shall dawn.

2. There are many souls that were dark as night,
All shadowed by the blackness of sin,
That are glowing now with immortal light,
Since the glory of God shone in. [Refrain]

3. There are hungry hearts that were starved for bread,
But Jesus has supplied every need;
For on Him, the Bread of Life, they have fed
Till their spirits are glad indeed. [Refrain]

4. And the deaf shall hear, and the blind eyes see;
The Word of God shall quicken and glow;
Christ the King of earth and Heaven still shall be
Till His glory each heart shall know. [Refrain]
