Lyrics

Do something for Je­sus, believer,
Some tal­ent was giv­en to you;
Whatever in life is your sta­tion,
There’s some­thing or oth­er to do.

Refrain

Do some­thing for Je­sus,
Do some­thing for Je­sus,
Oh, work in His vine­yard, I pray;
Bring one to be­lieve Him,
To love and re­ceive Him,
Do some­thing for Je­sus to­day.

Why stand you so idle and list­less?
Oh, rouse you, dear Chris­tian, take heed;
The weak and the err­ing are near you,
The sick and the help­less in need.

Refrain

The har­vest so swift­ly is pass­ing,
There’s work for the fee­ble and strong;
And fol­low­ing af­ter the Sav­ior,
There’s work for the old and the young.
