Work to Do for Jesus

There is work to do for Je­sus

Yes

a glo­ri­ous work to do

For a har­vest ful­ly rip­ened

Rich and gold­en

lies in view;

With a pray­er to God our Fa­ther

Let us all the work pur­sue

For our ris­en Lord is call­ing

And the har­vest­ers are few.

Yes

there’s work to do for Je­sus

And the har­vest is in view;

There’s a great work ev­ery­where to do;

There is work to do for Je­sus

And the har­vest­ers are few

There’s enough work for all to do.

There is work to do for Je­sus

And we hear the Sav­ior say

Why art stand­ing here so idle

At the noon­tide on the way?

Even now I will ac­cept thee

With the rest thy wag­es pay;

Go and labor in My vine­yard

Till the clos­ing of the day.

Yes

there’s work to do for Je­sus;

Who will an­swer to the call?

See! the vint­age is abun­dant

There is work to do for all;

God com­mands that we should la­bor

Tho’ the task our hearts ap­pall;

For He claim­eth our life serv­ice

Till the shades of death shall fall.
