Go work in the vine­yard, ’tis Je­sus com­mands,
Then why are we id­le and fold­ing our hands?
He speaks to the child­ren and we must ob­ey,
Go work in the vine­yard, go la­bor to­day.

Refrain

Sow in the morn­ing the seed of the Word,
Sow in the morn­ing and trust in the Lord,
He of our la­bor a re­cord will keep;
Life ev­er­last­ing and joy we shall reap.

Go forth in the vine­yard, how ear­nest the call,
There’s work for the child­ren, there’s plen­ty for all:
Too pre­cious the mo­ments to squan­der away,
Go work in the vine­yard, go la­bor to­day.

Refrain

Go work in the vine­yard, how glad we should be
That Je­sus is say­ing to you and to me,
The har­vest is com­ing, arise! and away,
Go work in the vine­yard, go la­bor to­day.

Refrain

Go forth at His bid­ding our plac­es to fill,
Go forth at His bid­ding and work with a will;
Grieve not the dear Sav­ior by long­er de­lay,
Go work in the vine­yard, go la­bor to­day.
