Author: Charles P. Jones Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #129 (1977) First Line: Why do you stand, dear brother Refrain First Line: Work! work! work! work! Lyrics: 1 Why do you stand, dear brother,
Idling your moments away?
Why not come work in God's vineyard?
Whate'er is right He will pay.
Refrain:
Work! work! work! work!
Work in His vineyard today!
Work and do not loiter,
Idling your moments away.
2 Why do you stand, dear brother?
Fast is receding the sun;
Let not the darkness o'ertake you,
Your work for Jesus undone. [Refrain]
3 Why stand you idle, brother?
Soon will the harvest be o'er;
Soon comes the darkness of ev'ning,
When we can labor no more. [Refrain] Topics: Invitation; Missions Languages: English Tune Title: [Why do you stand, dear brother]
