Junior Songs ‎#59

59. Work for Great and Small

1 What can we do for Jesus?
Are little hands so small
That they must wait in idleness,
And do no work at all?
The Master who has called us
Has, surely, need for all;
The Saviour who has bought us
Has work for great and small;
The Saviour who has bought us
Has work for great and small.

2 The golden grain is bending,
No reapers come this way,
And must the harvest then be lost
For lack of them today?
The Master of the harvest
Has, surely, need for all;
The Saviour who has bought us
Has work for great and small;
The Saviour who has bought us
Has work for great and small.

3 And in the sunny vineyard
The purple clusters lie
Untouched, because the idle ones
Are only passing by;
The Master of the vineyard
Has, surely, need for all;
The Saviour who has bought us
Has work for great and small.
The Saviour who has bought us
Has work for great and small.

4 Then let us work for Jesus,
His field is very wide,
And for those who love to serve him
He will a way provide;
The Master who has called us
Has, surely, need for all;
The Saviour who has bought us
Has work for great and small;
The Saviour who has bought us
Has work for great and small.
