1. Work, for time is flying,
Work with hearts sincere;
Work, for souls are dying,
Work, for night is near;
In the Master’s vineyard,
Go and work today;
Be no useless sluggard
Standing in the way.
2. In this glorious calling,
Work till day is o’er;
Work, till evening falling,
You can work no more;
Then your labor bringing
To the King of kings,
Borne with joy and singing
Home on angels’ wings.
3. There where saints adore Him,
Where the ransom’d meet,
Joy they show before Him,
Bowing at His feet;
Hear the Master saying,
From His heav’nly throne,
When thy toil rewarding,
“Laborer, well done!”
