Christian, work for Je­sus,
Who on earth for thee
Labored, wea­ried, suf­fered,
Died up­on the tree.

Work with feet un­tir­ing,
By the Mas­ter led,
Help to free the drunk­ards
From their bond­age dread.

Work with lips so fer­vid
That thy words may prove
Thou hast brought a mes­sage
From the God of love.

Work with heart that burn­eth;
Humbly at His feet
Priceless gems to of­fer,
For His crown made meet.

Work with pray­er un­ceas­ing,
Borne on faith’s strong wing,
Earnestly be­seech­ing
Trophies for the King.

Work while strength en­dur­eth,
Until death draw near;
Then thy Lord’s sweet wel­come
Thou in Hea­ven shalt hear.
