Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #256 (1930) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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, 'tis not for naught;
Thine earthly loss is heav'nly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not:
The Master praises--what are men?
3 Go, labor on; enough, while here,
If He shall praise thee; if He deign
Thy willing heart to mark and cheer,
No toil for Him shall be in vain.
4 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight peal: Behold, I come!
Amen.
