Labor On

Verse 1

I know there’s a rest for the good that labor here, Just beyond death’s valley dark and cold; And the ones that reach that home so bright and fair, Shall wear a glitt’ring crown of gold.

Chorus

Labor on, labor on, For a crown in heaven you shall wear, Labor on, labor on, For a crown in heaven you shall wear.

Verse 2

I know there’s a land that is beautiful and bright, Just beyond the Jordan’s turbid roar; And I soon shall pass beyond all mortal sight, To the promised Canaan’s happy shore.

Verse 3

There we’ll never grieve, but rejoicing faces see, As we near the bright eternal shore; Where the angels wait with crowns for you and me, With them we’ll dwell for evermore.
