When We Work for the Lord

Verse 1

When we work for the Lord He doth help us each day; He doth bless us and guide us In his own perfect way; Every trial grows sweet, Every burden grows light, And his angels will guard us Through the night, through the night.

Verse 2

When we work for the Lord We have nothing to fear, For the joy of his presence Bringeth heaven so near; While his strong arm upholds, And we share in his love, We receive his protection From above, from above.

Verse 3

When we work for the Lord Every arm groweth strong; And a sweet inspiration Floweth forth in a song; When the work here is done, He will take us to rest, We shall dwell in the mansions Of the blest, of the blest.
