Lyrics

Working in the vine­yard,
Working all the day,
Never be dis­cour­aged,
Only watch and pray;
Do your du­ty nob­ly,
Heart and hand unite,

Refrain

Minding the watch­word,
Stand by the right,
Minding the watch­word,
Stand by the right.

Working for the Mas­ter,
Do not be afraid,
Trials may be­fall you,
Never be dis­mayed,
Put your trust in Je­sus,
Keep your ar­mor bright,

Refrain

Marching on to glo­ry,
Still your way pur­sue,
In your Fa­ther’s king­dom,
There’s a crown for you;
Live for Him who loves you,
Keep your col­ors bright,

Refrain
