Author: Rose Hartwick Thorpe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13230 First Line: Work for the promised blessing Refrain First Line: Work, for the day is dawning Lyrics: 1 Work for the promised blessing,
Work, for the day will come;
Follow the gleam of the beacon light,
Jesus will lead us home.
Refrain:
Work, for the day is dawning,
Far on the eastern plain;
The promise came to the sons of men,
Jesus will come again.
2 Work, for the night is dreary,
Pray for the reign of right;
Follow our Lord, tho’ the way be dark,
Jesus will give us light. [Refrain]
3 Fight for the battle wrought,
Fight for the death of sin;
And when we stand at the pearly gate,
Jesus will let us in. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Work for the promised blessing]
