7899. Live For Jesus

1 Live for Jesus every day,
As we journey on the way,
Toiling every day and night,
Pressing on with all our might.

Refrain:
Brother, won’t you help us now?
While the Spirit tells you how;
Take the Bible for your guide,
And the Savior by your side.

2 For the night will surely come,
When your work will all be done;
As we journey thro’ the land,
Come and lend a helping hand. [Refrain]

3 Yes, your work will soon be done,
Battles fought, and victory won;
Then in bliss we all shall rest,
With the tranquil, pure and blest. [Refrain]
