Would you know the joy of liv­ing
On the high­er ground of love?
Would you know the Sav­ior’s friend­ship?
Would you ev­ery pro­mise prove?
Would you ga­ther pre­cious jew­els
For your crown of life above?
Live, work, pray for oth­ers!

Refrain

Others! oth­ers!
Live to work, and watch and pray for oth­ers!
Let the bless­èd Mas­ter our ex­am­ple ev­er be;
Live, work, pray for oth­ers!

Would you have the world the bet­ter
That you lived in it to­day?
Would you let a lit­tle sun­shine
In upon some dark­ened way?
Would you bring a soul to Je­sus?
Would you seek for those as­tray?
Live, work, pray for oth­ers!

Refrain

Would you cheer an­oth­er faint­ing
In the bat­tle for the right?
Would you stay the foot that fal­ters
As it climbs the mount­ain’s height?
Would you speak the word of kind­ness
That shall make a dark day bright?
Live, work, pray for oth­ers!

Refrain

Would you feel the secret pre­sence
Of the Mas­ter as you go?
Would you walk with faith un­shak­en
On your mis­sion here below?
Would you face your Lord un­fear­ing,
His Well done! at last to know?
Live, work, pray for oth­ers!
