Go, Labor On: Spend, And Be Spent,
Thy Joy To Do The Father’s Will:
It Is The Way The Master Went;
Should Not The Servant Tread It Still?
Go, Labor On! ‘Tis Not For Naught
Thine Earthly Loss Is Heavenly Gain;
Men Heed Thee, Love Thee, Praise Thee Not;
The Master Praises: What Are Men?
Go, Labor On! Enough, While Here,
If He Shall Praise Thee, If He Deign
The Willing Heart To Mark And Cheer:
No Toil For Him Shall Be In Vain.
Go, Labor On! Your Hands Are Weak,
Your Knees Are Faint, Your Soul Cast Down,
Yet Falter Not; The Prize You Seek
Is Near: A Kingdom And A Crown.
Go, Labor On While It Is Day:
The World’s Dark Night Is Hastening On;
Speed, Speed Thy Work, Cast Sloth Away;
It Is Not Thus That Souls Are Won.
Men Die In Darkness At Your Side,
Without A Hope To Cheer The Tomb;
Take Up The Torch And Wave It Wide,
The Torch That Lights Time’s Thickest Gloom.
Toil On, Faint Not, Keep Watch And Pray,
Be Wise The Erring Soul To Win;
Go Forth Into The World’s Highway,
Compel The Wanderer To Come In.
Toil On, And In Thy Toil Rejoice!
For Toil Comes Rest, For Exile Home;
Soon Shalt Thou Hear The Bridegroom’s Voice,
The Midnight Peal, “Behold, I Come!”
