Alternate Tunes
|
| 1. Go, labour on;
spend and be spent,
Thy joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?
2. Go, labour on; 'tis not for naught;
Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee,
praise thee not;
The Master praises—
what are men?
3. Go, labor on! enough,
while here,
If He shall praise thee,
if He deign
The willing heart
to mark and cheer:
No toil for Him shall be in vain.
4. Go labour on; your
hands are weak,
Your knees are faint,
your soul cast down;
Yet falter not; the prize you seek
Is near a kingdom and a crown.
5. Go, labour on while it is day;
The world's dark night
is hastening on;
Speed, speed thy work,
cast sloth away;
It is not thus that souls are won.
6. Men die in darkness at your side,
without a hope to cheer the tomb;
take up the torch and wave it wide,
the torch that lights
time's thickest gloom.
7. Toil on, faint not,
keep watch, and pray;
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway,
Compel the wanderer to come in.
8. Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear
the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight cry, "Behold, I come!"
9. **alt verses
10. Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear
the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight cry, "Arise come!"
