Elsie Duncan Yale (1912) • English

Primary Scripture: John 4:35

Verse 1

There’s a work for Jesus, ready at your hand, ’Tis a task the Master just for you has planned. Haste to do His bidding, yield Him service true; There’s a work for Jesus none but you can do.

Chorus

Work for Jesus, day by day, Serve Him ever, falter never; Christ obey. Yield Him service loyal, true, There’s a work for Jesus none but you can do.

Verse 2

There’s a work for Jesus, humble though it be, ’Tis the very service He would ask of thee. Go where fields are whitened, and the lab’rers few; There’s a work for Jesus none but you can do.

Chorus

Work for Jesus, day by day, Serve Him ever, falter never; Christ obey. Yield Him service loyal, true, There’s a work for Jesus none but you can do.

Verse 3

There’s a work for Jesus, precious souls to bring, Tell them of His mercies, tell them of your King. Faint not, nor grow weary, He will strength renew; There’s a work for Jesus none but you can do.

Chorus

Work for Jesus, day by day, Serve Him ever, falter never; Christ obey. Yield Him service loyal, true, There’s a work for Jesus none but you can do.
