Work and Pray
Fanny J. Crosby • English
Primary Scripture: Jeremiah 31:16
Verse 1
Let us work and pray together, With a firm and strong endeavor; Hearts and hands united ever In the service of the Lord: In His constant love abiding, And to Him our all confiding, With His gentle hand still guiding, We shall conquer thro' His word.
Verse 2
In the dawn of life's fair morning, With its smile our path adorning, Let us heed the Master's warning: "Time is flying; work today." See the royal host advancing, Arm'd with zeal, and upward glancing, Full of hope and joy entrancing; Let us quickly haste away.
Verse 3
Come and join the ranks before us; Hark, their songs are floating o'er us; Hear the glad the tuneful chorus, How it vibrates on the air: Home is near, and toil is ending, Soon the mount of joy ascending, Where the blest their harps are blending We shall meet our lov'd ones there.
