Primary Scripture: Exodus 5:18

Verse 1

In the early morning, when the reapers go To the Master’s field their seed to sow, Let us follow onward while we hear them say, “There is work for all, go forth today.”

Chorus

Work today, work today, Work and trust, watch and pray; We will never, never stay, We will never, never stay From the Master’s field of toil away.

Verse 2

In the early morning joyful let us go, In the summer’s bloom or winter’s sow; For the Master calls us, hear Him gently say, “With the true and faithful, work today.”

Chorus

Work today, work today, Work and trust, watch and pray; We will never, never stay, We will never, never stay From the Master’s field of toil away.

Verse 3

From the early morning crown’d with rosy light, We will labor on till dewy night; Loving words, like sunbeams, dropping one by one, Till our day of toil on earth is done.

Chorus

Work today, work today, Work and trust, watch and pray; We will never, never stay, We will never, never stay From the Master’s field of toil away.
