Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Let us do our best from day to day
For the Savior whom we love;
Let us lay up treasures while we may
In the home, sweet home
above.
Refrain
Let us work for the Lord,
Wheresoever we may go;
Let us win the reward
In His vineyard here below.
Let us make His blessèd story known
To the souls that are astray;
O with gladness let our love be shown
For the Master every day.
Refrain
He has died that we may live and rise
In the brightness of His love,
And that we may win and wear the prize
That awaits the true above.
