Redemption Songs ‎#68

68. Go Work

1 In the Master’s vineyard,
There is work to do;
While the hours are fleeting,
Christ hath need of you.

Refrain:
Stand no longer idle,
Work begin today;
Christ for you is calling, calling,
Cheerfully obey.

2 Sweet the joy of service,
Let none idle prove;
Faithful toil for Jesus
Best reveals our love. [Refrain]

3 Feeble gifts the Saviour
Graciously will use;
Can the loyal servant
His behest refuse? [Refrain]

4 Haste ye, ere the darkness
Swiftly gathers o’er,
And the day of labor
Dawn for thee no more. [Refrain]
