Representative Text

1 Still labor on, true sons of God,
Keep still the path the Saviour trod;
The night will pass, the morning dawn,
And all the shadows be withdrawn.

Refrain:
Still labor on,
Still labor on,
The shadows soon will be withdrawn;
The glory-crown soon yours will be,
And rest for all eternity.

2 Still labor on, keep courage still,
And bravely do the Master's will;
His mighty love will keep you brave,
And from the foe His arm will save. [Refrain]

3 Still labor on, with faith complete,
Proclaim the news with voices sweet;
Your trials all will soon be past
And rest and joy be yours at last. [Refrain]
