The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship ‎#68

68. To The Work

1 To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,
Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;
With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew,
Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.

Chorus:
Toiling on, Toiling on,
Toiling on, Toiling on,
Let us hope, Let us watch,
And labor till the Master comes.

2 To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed;
To the fountain of Life let the weary be led;
In the cross and its banner our glory shall be,
While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!" [Chorus]

3 To the work! to the work! there is labor for all,
For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall,
And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be
In the loud-swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!" [Chorus]

4 To the work! to the work! In the strength of the Lord,
And a robe and a crown shall our labor reward;
When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be,
And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!" [Chorus]
