Lyrics

Help us to labor on,
Savior, for Thee;
Faithful in word and deed,
O may we be.

Refrain

Till all our work is done,
Our crown of glory won,
Help us, Lord, to labor on,
Trusting in Thee.

Help us to labor on,
Cheered from above;
Sowing the word of life,
Telling Thy love.

Refrain

Help us to labor on,
Lord, not in vain;
O may we gather in,
Bright, golden grain.
