1 Would you know the joy of service as the subject of a King?
Be a worker! be a worker!
Would you be supremely happy—have your heart forever sing,
Be a worker for the King.

Chorus:
Be a worker, be a worker!
Joy and gladness to your life ‘twill surely bring,
If you’d be supremely happy, have your heart forever sing,
Be a worker for the King.

2 Do you ever feel discouraged, that your life is all in vain?
Be a worker! be a worker!
Faithful service for the Master fills the heart with hope again,
Be a worker for the King. [Chorus]

3 You can never be a blessing if in idleness you stand;
Be a worker! be a worker!
Some poor needy one is waiting to receive a helping hand,
Be a worker for the King. [Chorus]

4 Then be ever up and doing, helping ev’ry one you meet;
Be a worker! be a worker!
And at last in yonder city lay your trophies at His feet,
As a worker for the King. [Chorus]
