630. O Toilers in the Vineyard

1 O toilers in the vineyard,
The vineyard of the Lord,
Work on both late and early,
Obedient to His word;
Shrink not from heat or burden,
Do not your efforts stay,
And ye shall be rewarded
At closing of the day.

Refrain:
Work on, work on, O brothers,
Your labors blest shall be;
Work on, work on for Jesus
Till death shall set you free.

2 O toilers in the vineyard,
The precious seed you sow,
To an eternal harvest
In heav’n at last shall grow;
Then do not stop to question
If this or that may be,
But work in faith and patience,
Till Jesus sets you free. [Refrain]

3 O toilers in the vineyard,
If sorely now opprest
In heav’n’s eternal morning,
More sweet will be the rest!
In heav’n no heavy burdens!
In heav’n no scorching heat!
No spirit sorely troubled!
No weary hands or feet! [Refrain]
