A Work for All

Laura E. Newell • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 21:28

Verse 1

There’s a work, a work that we all may do, For our Saviour if we will, Then with joy, with joy let’s our task pursue, And our mission here fulfill.

Chorus

There’s a work that each may do for Jesus, We may serve Him ev’ry day, We may tell His love to those who wander, We may seek the lambs astray.

Verse 2

There’s a work, a work and it must be done, If we live and strive aright, With the end in view, blest the work begun, Let us labor with our might.

Chorus

There’s a work that each may do for Jesus, We may serve Him ev’ry day, We may tell His love to those who wander, We may seek the lambs astray.

Verse 3

There’s a cross, a cross for us each to bear, But His strength each day He’ll give, And at last a crown we in heav’n may wear, Near to Jesus let us live.

Chorus

There’s a work that each may do for Jesus, We may serve Him ev’ry day, We may tell His love to those who wander, We may seek the lambs astray.
