Lyrics

Help us to labor on,
Savior, for Thee;
Faithful in word and deed,
O may we be.

Refrain

Till all our work is done,
Our crown of glo­ry won,
Help us, Lord, to labor on,
Trusting in Thee.

Help us to labor on,
Cheered from above;
Sowing the word of life,
Telling Thy love.

Refrain

Help us to labor on,
Lord, not in vain;
O may we gather in,
Bright, golden grain.
