Hear the Master Say
Mary C. Seward (1883) • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 21:28
Verse 1
Hear the master say, “Go and work today, For the lab’rers still are few;” Shall His earnest cry pass unheeded by, When there’s work for all to do? He has need of thee, and his urgent plea Is, “The harvest now is white;” Let us quickly haste lest the sheaves lie waste, For too soon will come the night.
Chorus
Hear the Master say, “Go and work today, For the lab’rers still are few;” Shall His earnest cry pass unheeded by, When there’s work for all to do?
Verse 2
Go! the hungry feed, and the weary lead To the rest of Jesus’ love; Tho' your strength be small, God is over all, With a blessing from above; Seek for souls to win from the ways of sin; Work with cheerful heart and true; And the jewels rare that have been your care, Shall at last be given to you.
Chorus
Hear the Master say, “Go and work today, For the lab’rers still are few;” Shall His earnest cry pass unheeded by, When there’s work for all to do?
Verse 3
Go and work today; O do not delay, For the night is coming on; And the least you do shall be blest to you, If for Jesus it is done; Tho' the seeds that fall may be few and small, They shall not be sown in vain; In the garnered sheaves, which the Lord receives, Will be found the ripened grain.
Chorus
Hear the Master say, “Go and work today, For the lab’rers still are few;” Shall His earnest cry pass unheeded by, When there’s work for all to do?
