Come, Labor On
Author: Jane L. Borthwick Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #526 (1987) Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Topics: Industry & Labor; Industry & Labor 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.
The enemy is watching night and day,
to sow the tares, to snatch the seed away;
while we in sleep our duty have forgot,
he slumbers not.
3 Come, labor on.
Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here:
by feeblest agents may our God fulfill
his righteous will.
4 Come, labor on.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share:
to young and old the gospel gladness bear.
Redeem the time its hours so swiftly fly
the night draws nigh.
5 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:
"Servants, well done."
Scripture: Matthew 13:24-26 Languages: English Tune Title: ORA LABORA

Come, Labor On
Author: Jane Laurie Borthwick Hymnal: The Hymnbook #287 (1955) Meter: 4.10.10.10.4 Topics: Labor Day Lyrics: 1 Come, labor on.
Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain
While all around him 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.
Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here:
By feeblest agents may our God fulfill
His 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!"
Amen. Scripture: John 4:34-35 Tune Title: ORA LABORA

Those Who Love and Those Who Labor
All Labor Gained New Dignity
Author: John Oxenham, 1852-1941 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #448 (2006) Topics: Labor Day Lyrics: 1 All labor gained new dignity
Since He who all creation made
Toiled with His hands for daily bread
Right manfully.
2 No work is commonplace, if all
Be done as unto Him alone;
Life's simplest toil to Him is known,
Who knoweth all.
3 Each smallest common thing He makes
Serves Him with its minutest part;
Man only, with his wand'ring heart,
His way forsakes.
4 His service is life's highest joy,
It yields fair fruit a hundredfold,
Be this our prayer--"Not fame, nor gold,
But Thine employ!"
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ALMSGIVING
All Labor Gained New Dignity
Go, labor on; spend and be spent
Author: Bonar Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #608 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Labor On! Lyrics: 1 Go, labor 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, labor on; 'tis not for naught;
Thine 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
Thy willing heart to mark and cheer:
No toil for him shall be in vain.
4 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight peal: Behold, I come!
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:10
Go, labor on; spend and be spent
