To the Work

by Alfred G. Karnes

on Bound for the Promised Land (2015), When They Ring the Golden Bells (2021)

To the work, to the work, we are servants of God
Let us follow the path that our Master has trod
With the balm of his counsel our strength to renew
Let us do with our might what our hands find to do

Toiling on, toiling on, toiling on, toiling on
Let us hope, let us watch
And labor 'til the Master comes

To the work, to the work, let the hungry be fed
To the fountain of life let the weary be led
In the cross and its battle, our glory shall be
While we hail the tiding: Salvation is Free!

Toiling on, toiling on, toiling on, toiling on
Let us hope, let us watch
And labor 'til the Master comes

To the work, to the work, there is labor for all
For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall
And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be
In the loud swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!"

Toiling on, toiling on, toiling on, toiling on
Let us hope, let us watch
And labor 'til the Master comes

To the work, to the work in the strength of the Lord
And a robe and a crown shall our labor reward
When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be
And we shout with a ransom, "Salvation is free!"

Toiling on, toiling on, toiling on, toiling on
Let us hope, let us watch
And labor 'til the Master comes
