Williston Hymns ‎#113

113. Just Where You Are

1 Tho’ your field of labor cover but a little space,
Do not sigh for broader harvest fields afar;
Sure that you will please the Master, trusting still His grace,
Do your best for Jesus just where you are.

Refrain:
Just where you are,
Just where you are;
Lack of time and space for duty is no bar!
Do not sigh for broader harvest fields afar,
Do your best for Jesus just where you are.

2 Some must do the smaller things, while others do the great,
Giving light of candle, or of blazing star;
Go wherever be your field of labor, pray and wait—
Do your best for Jesus just where you are. [Refrain]

3 Fill you station without murmur, all your pilgrim days,
Letting naught discourage, naught your record mar;
Do not crave another place in which to toil or praise—
Do your best for Jesus just where you are. [Refrain]
