Go forth! go forth for Je­sus now—
Be work­ing! be watch­ing!
The Lord Him­self will teach you how
To watch and pray.
’Tis not for thee thy field to choose—
No work He gives must thou re­fuse—
Be work­ing! be watch­ing! be pray­ing!

Refrain

Go forth to work—to watch and pray!
’Tis Je­sus who calls thee—
The har­vest waits for thee to­day—
Go bring some sheaves for God.

Go forth! go forth to all the world!
Oh, stay not! de­lay not—
But let Love’s ban­ner be un­furled,
And grace be told.
Oh, let re­deem­ing love be sung—
A song of joy on ev­ery tongue!
Be work­ing! be watch­ing! be pray­ing!

Refrain

Go forth! let heart and hand be strong!
Be work­ing! be watch­ing!
Oh, stay the migh­ty pow­er of wrong
Where’er ye may.
Equipped with love and strength di­vine,
The vic­to­ry is sure­ly thine—
Be work­ing! be watch­ing! be pray­ing!
