The Work Must Go On

A glad mes­sage rings thro’ the world to­day

It ech­oes thro’ the coun­tries afar

That the ris­ing Sun

with ce­les­ti­al ray

Scatters heal­ing where’er men are.

The good work must go on and on

Till the world for the Lord is won

Greater tri­umphs must be gained

Greater heights in love at­tained

Till the glo­ri­ous day of God shall dawn.

There are ma­ny souls that were dark as night

All sha­dowed by the black­ness of sin

That are glow­ing now with im­mor­tal light

Since the glo­ry of God shone in.

There are hun­gry hearts that were starved for bread

But Je­sus has sup­plied ev­ery need;

For on Him

the Bread of Life

they have fed

Till their spir­its are glad in­deed.

And the deaf shall hear

and the blind eyes see;

The Word of God shall quick­en and glow;

Christ the King of earth and Heav­en still shall be

Till His glo­ry each heart shall know.
