I Dare Not Idle Stand
Hymnal: Pearls of Praise #129 (1893) Refrain First Line: Working for the Master Lyrics: 1 I dare not idle stand,
While here on ev'ry hand
The whit’ning fields declare the harvest near;
A gleaner I would be,
And gather, Lord, for thee,
Lest I with empty hand at last appear.
Working for the Master,
For the home on high;
A gleaner I would be,
And gather, Lord, for thee,
Lest I with empty hand at last appear.
2 I dare not idle stand,
While over all the land
Poor wand’ring souls need humble help like mine;
Far brighter than the gem
In monarch’s diadem,
Each soul a star in Jesus’ crown may shine.
Working for the Master,
For the home on high;
Far brighter than the gem
In monarch’s diadem,
Each soul a star in Jesus’ crown may shine.
3 I dare not idle stand,
But at the Lord’s command
For him I’ll labor on this life-short day;
The eve will come at last,
Day labor soon is past,
Eternal rest will then my toil repay.
Working for the Master,
For the home on high;
The eve will come at last,
Day labor soon is past,
Eternal rest will then my toil repay. Scripture: Matthew 21:28 Tune Title: [I dare not idle stand]

Person Name: Anon. Author of "I Dare Not Idle Stand" in The Christian Church Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
