To The Work!

Words by Fanny J. Crosby


To the work! To the work!
We are servants of God,
let us follow the path
that our Master has trod;
With the balm of His counsel
our strength to renew,
let us do with our might
what our hands find to do.

Chorus:
Toiling on, toiling on,
toiling on, toiling on;
Let us hope, let us watch,
and labour till the Master comes.

To the work! To the work!
Let the hungry be fed,
to the fountain of life
let the weary be led;
In the cross and its banner
our glory shall be,
while we herald the tidings,
"Salvation is free!"

To the work! To the work!
There is labour for all,
for the kingdom of darkness
and error shall fall;
And the name of Jehovah
exalted shall be
in the loud swelling chorus,
"Salvation is free!"

To the work! To the work!
In the strength of the Lord,
and a robe and a crown
shall our labour reward;
When the home of the faithful
our dwelling shall be
and we shout with the ransomed,
"Salvation is free!"
