Which Are You?

Author: James Rowe Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: For workers the Lord of the vineyard is calling Refrain First Line: Which are you? Which are you? Lyrics: 1 For workers the Lord of the vineyard is calling, For hearts that are willing, unselfish and strong; So many grown idle behind now are falling, And want to be carefully carried along. Refrain: Which are you? which are you? Are you willing strong and true, Are you a worker? or are you an Idler, Which are you? tell me, which are you? 2 His plea is for those who have hearts of true measure, Strong soul that are anxious to bitter their race; For some who profess Him are clinging to pleasure Thus hindering ever the pow’r of His grace. [Refrain] 3 The forces of sin are exerting their power, And daily defiance at Jesus is hurled; Yet some who have promised sins banner to lower Are thoughtlessly keeping that banner unfurled. [Refrain] 4 Oh, comrades be true, let us cleave to the Master Whose blood hath redeemed us from sin and from shame; Each day let us labor, more willingly faster, And never be weary of praising His name. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [For workers the Lord of the vineyard is calling]
