Go, Labour On



Text: John 13:15; 1 Peter 2:21; Matthew 12:50


Go, labour on, spend and be spent.
Thy joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went,
Should not the servant tread it still?

Go, labour on; it's not for nought,
Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain.
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not,
The Master praises, what are men?

Men die in darkness at your side,
Without a hope to cheer the tomb:
Take up the torch, and wave it wide,
The torch that lights time's thickest gloom

Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice,
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shall thou hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight peal, "Behold, I come!"
