Christian, work for Jesus
*Always give yourself fully to the work of the Lord" I Cor. 15:58
Christian, work for Jesus,
Who on earth for thee
Laboured, wearied suffered
Died upon the tree.
Work, with lips so fervid
That thy words may prove
Thou hast brought a message
From the God of love.
Work, with heart that bumeth
Humbly at His feet
Priceless gems to offer,
For His crown made meet.
Work, with prayer unceasing,
Bore on faith 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 shall hear.
