Sheet music
- 1Hear the voice of Jesus say,Loudly crying unto all,In my vineyard work today:Hearken to his call.Work, then, for Jesus:He will own and bless your labors;Work, work for Jesus:Work, work today.
- 2Why, he asks, thro' all the day,Stand ye idle, nothing do?Enter in without delay:I have work for you.Work, then, for Jesus:He will own and bless your labors;Work, work for Jesus:Work, work today.
- 3Thro' the long and toilsome day,'Neath a blazing, burning sun,Bear the heat, pursue your wayTill your task is done.Work, then, for Jesus:He will own and bless your labors;Work, work for Jesus:Work, work today.
