Lyrics

All my class for Je­sus!
Here is work to do,
Teaching them the words of life,
And pray­ing for them, too.
Every one was bought with blood,
Jesus claims them all;
This my work, to bring them home,
To win them to His call.

Refrain

All my class for Je­sus,
Every pre­cious one;
How my heart is bur­dened,
Till the work is done;
Jesus, bless­èd Sav­ior,
Hear, oh! hear my plea;
Send Thy grace to help me
Bring these souls to Thee.

All my class for Je­sus,
Name by name each day;
Jesus says, Ask what ye will,
Believing when you pray.

He who go­eth weep­ing,
Bearing pre­cious seed,
Soon shall come re­joic­ing home,
Immortal souls his meed.

Refrain

All my class for Je­sus!
How my soul is blest,
When I think of meet­ing them
In Heav’n’s eter­nal rest;
When I think of hear­ing
Jesus say, Well done,
Welcome here, thrice wel­come here:
Sit down up­on My throne.

All my class for Je­sus,
Every pre­cious one;
There’ll be joy in Hea­ven
When the work is done;
Jesus, bless­èd Sav­ior,
Hear, oh! hear my plea;
Send Thy grace to help me
Bring them all to Thee.
