Hymn 739:
Come, labour on!
Who dares stand idle on the harvest
Who dares stand idle on the harvest
Plain,
While all around us waves the
golden grain?
And to each servant does the
And to each servant does the
Master say
“Go work today.”
Come labour on!
Claim the high calling Angel
Cannot share,
To young and old the
Gospel-gladness bear;
Redeem the time: its hours
Too swiftly fly,
The night draws nigh
Come labour on!
The enemy is watching night and day,
The enemy is watching night and day,
To sow the tares, to snatch the seed
Away;
While we in sleep our duty have
Forgot,
He slumbered not.
Come labour on!
Away with gloomy doubts and
Away with gloomy doubts and
faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do
No arm so weak but may do
service here,
By feeblest agents may our God fulfil
His righteous will.
Come labour on!
No time for rest, till glows the western sky,
No time for rest, till glows the western sky,
Till the long Shadows o’er our
Pathway lie,
And a glad sound comes with the
Setting sun,
Servants, well done.
Come, labour on!
The toil is pleasant, the reward is sure,
Blessed are those who to the end
Endure;
How full their joy, how deep their
Rest shall be,
O Lord, with thee!
