Let us be about
our Father’s business,
Ev’ry day, as we go
On our way here below:
Never let it suffer thro’ remissness,
But seek to make it thrive and grow.
Then respond to the call,
He has use for us all,
And His work is a labor of love;
And the days soon will come
In the great Harvest Home,
For our rest and rejoicing above.
Do you ask what is
the work He sends us?
’Tis whate’er we can do,
’Tis to bear and be true,
And to use the talents
that He lends us,
That others may accept Him too.
Then respond to the call,
He has use for us all,
And His work is a labor of love;
And the days soon will come
In the great Harvest Home,
For our rest and rejoicing above.
When in Heaven
and the toil is ended,
Oh, what bliss it will be
In that place then to see
Those dear souls
whom we on earth befriended,
And led to Him
Who made them free.
Then respond to the call,
He has use for us all,
And His work is a labor of love;
And the days soon will come
In the great Harvest Home,
For our rest and rejoicing above.
