Latter-Day Saints Congregational Hymns ‎#58

58. Ye Who Are Called to Labor

1. Ye who are called to labor and minister for God,
Blest with the royal Priesthood, appointed by His word
To preach among the nations the news of Gospel grace,
And publish on the mountains, salvation, truth, and peace:

Refrain:
Come oh come to me,
Come oh come to me,
Weary heavy laden.
Come, oh, come to me

2. O let not vain ambition nor worldly glory stain
Your minds so pure and holy; acquit yourselves like men;
While lifting up your voices like trumpets, long and loud,
Say to the slumb'ring nations: "Prepare to meet your God!" [Refrain]

3. Then cease from all light speeches, light-mindedness, and pride;
Pray always, without ceasing, and in the truth abide;
The Comforter will teach you, His richest blessings send,
Your Savior will be with you forever to the end. [Refrain]

4. And while you roam as pilgrims and strangers on this earth
O do not be discouraged, with songs of joy go forth;
Rejoice in tribulation, for your reward is sure,
Remember that your Savior like sorrows did endure. [Refrain]

5. Rich blessings do await you, and God will give you faith;
You shall be crown'd with glory and triumph over death;
And soon you'll come to Zion and bear your many sheaves,
No more to taste of sorrow, but glorious crowns receive. [Refrain]
