A call to loy­al work­ers
Is sound­ing o’er the land;
Awake! Arise! the time is short,
The Lord, He is at hand!
Take up the cross for Je­sus,
On Him fix heart and eyes,
Then in His grace suf­fi­cient
Press for­ward to the prize.

Refrain

Awake! loy­al work­er,
To the work while you may;
In God’s name to con­quer,
He’s call­ing today.

The prize is life eter­nal,
With Je­sus cru­ci­fied;
’Twas on the cross in ago­ny
For us He bled and died;
Then, work­ers, look to Je­sus,
For help to ov­er­come,
And then in that fair morn­ing
He’ll say to thee, Well done.

Refrain

Come, work­ers, look around you,
The Mas­ter calls to­day;
Whate’er thy hand shall find to do,
Haste, now the call obey!
Bear no­bly all for Je­sus,
And in His strength abide,
Then bless­èd be the ef­forts
To win for Him a bride.

Refrain

O loy­al be to Je­sus,
In word and thought and deed;
Then grand­ly will the work go on,
Where work­ers sow the seed;
Thro’ Christ our bless­èd ma­ster,
We vic­t’ry shall at­tain;
Then in that morn so soon,
We’ll reap the gold­en grain.
