<p>Go, labor on: spend, and be spent,<br>
Thy joy to do the Father&#8217;s will:<br>
It is the way the Master went;<br>
Should not the servant tread it still?</p>
<p>Go, labor on! &#8217;tis not for naught<br>
Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain;<br>
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;<br>
The Master praises: what are men?</p>
<p>Go, labor on! enough, while here,<br>
If He shall praise thee, if He deign<br>
The willing heart to mark and cheer:<br>
No toil for Him shall be in vain.</p>
<p>Go, labor on while it is day:<br>
The world&#8217;s dark night is hastening on;<br>
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away;<br>
It is not thus that souls are won.</p>
<p>Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray,<br>
Be wise the erring soul to win;<br>
Go forth into the world&#8217;s highway,<br>
Compel the wanderer to come in.</p>
<p>Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice!<br>
For toil comes rest, for exile home;<br>
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom&#8217;s voice,<br>
The midnight peal, &#8220;Behold, I come!&#8221;</p>
