Author: Mrs. E. C. Ellsworth Hymnal: Gospel Praise Book. #261 (1885) First Line: Ever let thy hand be busy Refrain First Line: Work then for the blessed Master Lyrics: 1 Ever let thy hand be busy,
Lay the threads out one by one;
Ever ply time’s ceaseless shuttle,
Till life’s work is nobly done.
Chorus:
Work then for the blessed Master!
He is with thee day by day;
Be Thou faithful to thy calling;
Work away! yes, work away!
2 Never heed the idlers round thee,
Watchful be with patient eye;
Mark thou well the noble pattern,
And thy life-work beautify. [Chorus]
3 Hand and eye must work together,
Standing ‘neath a light divine;
Thou shalt bring a lasting service,
And the “Well done” shall be thine. [Chorus]
