Singing by the Way (Rev. ed.) ‎#41

41. The Master's Work

1 As a Christian band,
Forward hand in hand,
To the Master's work we go;
To a ruined race
We declare His grace,
And endeavor His love to show.

Chorus:
To the work, To the work
hand in hand, hand in hand.
To the Master's work we go, gladly go;
To a ruined race
We declare His grace,
And endeavor hIs love to show.

2 In our task agreed,
Taking for our creed,
All the blessed word of God,
We together meet,
And in union sweet,
Seek to walk where the Master trod. [Chorus]

3 Far as sin hath wrought,
Hath our Saviour taught
That the word of life should go;
And we strive as one
that his will be done,
And the whole world His great love know. [Chorus]

4 Bless the work begun,
And until 'tis done
May we faithful, Lord, be found;
May our ranks increase,
And in grace and peace
More and more make us to abound. [Chorus]
