Working all the day,
Never be discouraged,
Only watch and pray;
Do your duty nobly,
Heart and hand unite,

Minding the watchword,
Stand by the right,
Minding the watchword,
Stand by the right.

Do not be afraid,
Trials may befall you,
Never be dismayed,
Put your trust in Jesus,
Keep your armor bright, [Refrain]

Still your way pursue,
In your Father’s kingdom,
There’s a crown for you;
Live for Him who loves you,
Keep your colors bright, [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Working in the vineyard] Text Sources: The Silver Spray, by W. H. Doane (Cincinnati, Ohio: John Church & Co., 1868)
