1. In the name of God advancing,
Sow thy seed at morning light;
Cheerily the furrows turning,
Labor on with all thy might.
2. Look not to the far-off future,
Do the work which nearest lies;
Sow thou must before thou reapest,
Rest at last is labor’s prize.
3. Standing still is peril ever,
Service is thy safety now;
Life demands thy best endeavor,
Toil shall nobly stamp thy brow;
4. And the Master shall come smiling,
At the setting of the sun,
Saying, as He pays thy wages,
“Good and faithful one, well done!”
