9730. Christian, Work For Jesus

1 Christian, work for Jesus,
Who on earth for thee
Labored, wearied, suffered,
Died upon the tree.

2 Work with feet untiring,
By the Master led,
Help to free the drunkards
From their bondage dread.

3 Work with lips so fervid
That thy words may prove
Thou hast brought a message
From the God of love.

4 Work with heart that burneth;
Humbly at His feet
Priceless gems to offer,
For His crown made meet.

5 Work with prayer unceasing,
Borne on faith’s strong wing,
Earnestly beseeching
Trophies for the King.

6 Work while strength endureth,
Until death draw near;
Then thy Lord’s sweet welcome
Thou in Heaven shalt hear.
