There is work to be done in the vineyard, there are sheaves to be gathered in; There are souls to be saved, And the Master saith, "Go and gather my lambs from the paths of death, From the broad highway of sin." 2. Go gather them in from the hedges, Go gather the young and old; Go and tell how the Shepherd in wondrous love, Left the light and the glory of heav'n above, For the lambs straying from the fold. 3. Go work for the glorious Master, It is strange you should so delay, When He promises strength if you ask aright, When His yoke is so easy, His burden light, And He pledges the best of pay. 4. There is work for you now in the vineyard, There is work though the hour be late; There is time yet to turn from a life of sin, Time to judgment escape and a crown to win; O why will you longer wait.

H. N. Lincoln

1859 - 1948 Composer of "[There is work to be done in the vineyard]" in The Gospel Awakening Horace Neely Lincoln, 1859-1948. Horace was the son of James Lincoln and Emaline King, and husband of Etta Lee Thurmand (married 1887). He moved with his family to Texas when he was seven years old. At age 10, he began attending a singing school conducted by James M. Jolley of Mississippi. In 1880, he taught his first singing class in his old neighborhood school house. Later that year, he attended his first normal music school, taught at Mountain Home (now Holland), Texas. Lincoln had other musical training under L. B. Shook (a former student of Philip Bliss) and John McPherson of Illinois. In 1898, he graduated from the Chicago National College of Music, and in 1906 took a post-graduate course under Horatio Palmer. Lincoln eventually became president of the Songland Music Company, and the World’s Normal Musical College. © The Cyber Hymnal™ (hymntime/tch)
