Lyrics

There is work that we can do,
While the years roll by;
For the laborers are but few,
While the years roll by;
Let us work and watch and pray,
Till the crowning day,
While the years are rolling by.

Refrain

While the years are rolling by,
While the years are rolling by,
There is work that we can do,
While the years are rolling by.

Listen to the Mas­ter’s call,
While the years roll by;
Ho! ye reapers, one and all,
While the years roll by;
Do not idly waiting stand,
Heed the Lord’s command,
While the years are rolling by.

Refrain

It may be your joy to win,
While the years roll by;
Someone from the path of sin,
While the years roll by;
To your trust be firm and true,
God depends on you,
While the years are rolling by.

Refrain
