Hymnal: The Helper in Sacred Song #158 (1889) First Line: In the name of God advancing Refrain First Line: Then work, work for Jesus Lyrics: 1 In the name of God advancing,
Sow thy seed at morning light;
Cheerily the furrows turning,
Labor on with all your might.
Refrain:
Then work, work for Jesus;
Toil thro’ the cloud or sun;
Till the Master bids thee rest
From labor when thy work is all done.
2 Look not to the far-off future;
Do the work which nearest lies;
Sow thou must before thou reapest,
Rest at last is labor’s prize. [Refrain]
3 Standing still is dangerous ever,
Toil is meant for Christians now;
Let there be, when evening cometh,
Honest sweat upon thy brow. [Refrain]
4 And the Master shall come smiling,
At the setting of the sun,
Saying, as He pays thy wages,
“Good and faithful one, well done!” [Refrain] Tune Title: [In the name of God advancing]
Work for Jesus
