I want to be a work­er for the Lord,
I want to love and trust His ho­ly Word,
I want to sing and pray,
Be bu­sy ev­ery day
In the vine­yard of the Lord.

Refrain

I will work, I will pray,
In the vine­yard, in the vine­yard of the Lord.
I will work, I will pray.
I will la­bor ev­ery day, in the vine­yard of the Lord.

I want to be a work­er ev­ery day,
I want to lead the err­ing in the way
That leads to Heav’n above,
Where all is peace and love,
In the vine­yard of the Lord.

Refrain

I want to be a work­er strong and brave,
I want to trust in Je­sus’ pow’r to save;
All who will tru­ly come
Shall find a hap­py home
In the vine­yard of the Lord.

Refrain

I want to be a work­er; help me, Lord,
To lead the lost and err­ing to Thy Word,
That points to joys on high
Where plea­sures ne­ver die,
In the vine­yard of the Lord.

Refrain
