Author: Jane Laurie Borthwick Hymnal: Glory to God #719 (2013) Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Hymnal Title: Glory to God Lyrics: 1 Come, labor on.
Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain
while all around us waves the golden grain?
And to each servant does the Master say,
"Go work today."
2 Come, labor on.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share;
to young and old the gospel gladness bear.
Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly.
The night draws nigh.
3 Come, labor on.
Cast off all gloomy doubt and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here.
Though feeble agents, may we all fulfill
God's righteous will.
4 Come, labor on.
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,
"Well done, well done!" Topics: Discipleship and Mission; Faith; Harvest; Will of God; Work Scripture: Matthew 9:37-38 Languages: English Tune Title: ORA LABORA
