To work! To work! To work!
O why are we now sleep­ing?
The gold­en har­vest waits to­day,
And we should all be reap­ing,
And we should all be reap­ing.
O come and reap for Christ your king,
A wor­thy off­er­ing to Him bring.

Refrain

To work! To work! Away! Away!
The Mas­ter calls to­day, to­day;
To work at once to con­quer sin,
And bring the pre­cious har­vest in.

To work! To work! To work!
Despise not small be­gin­ning,
For pre­cious souls we’re los­ing now,
That some­one should be win­ning,
That some­one should be win­ning.
O, shame on us to let them fall!
To work! To work and win them all.

Refrain

To work! To work! To work!
O see the faint are fall­ing!
Before it is too late to save,
Come, heed the Mas­ter’s call­ing,
Come, heed the Mas­ter’s call­ing.
O, why this heart­less treat­ment?
Why? O, hast­en to them or they die!

Refrain

To work! To work! To work!
The cry for help grows strong­er—
The day is pass­ing, night draws near
When we can work no long­er,
When we can work no long­er.
Now to the res­cue, ev­ery­one!
O, hast­en, ere the night comes on!
