Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #276 (1957) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Go, labor on! spend and be spent Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on! spend, and be spent;
Thy joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went:
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on while it is day;
The world's dark night is hastening on;
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away;
It is not thus that souls are won.
3 Men die in darkness at your side,
Without a hope to cheer the tomb;
Take up the torch, and wave it wide,
The torch that lights time's thickest gloom.
4 Toil on, faint not, keep watch, and pray,
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway,
Compel the wanderer to come in.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 21:28 Tune Title: ERNAN
Go, Labor On!
