Author: Paulina Hymnal: Joyful Songs #95 (1875) First Line: Gird ye for the toilsome day Lyrics: 1 Gird ye for the toilsome day, This is not your rest, Stay not idly by the way, This is not your rest, There are sorrows ye must share, There are burdens ye must bear, There is need of faith and prayer, This is not your rest. 2 This, the vineyard of the Lord, This is not your rest, Toil and wait His just award, This is not your rest. Toil and ask His blessing down, Heeding not the cold world's frown, So shall yours be cross and crown, This is not your rest. 3 "Work while it is call'd today," This is not your rest. Win to Christ some soul astray, This is not your rest. Hastening at duty's call, Leaving to the Father, all; Blessed they who stand or fall, This is not your rest.
