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.
