|
|
<p>In the vineyard of our Father<br>
|
|
Daily work we find to do;<br>
|
|
Scattered fruit our hands may gather,<br>
|
|
Though we are but weak and few;<br>
|
|
Little clusters<br>
|
|
Help to fill the basket, too.</p>
|
|
<p>Toiling early in the morning,<br>
|
|
Catching moments through the day,<br>
|
|
Nothing small or lowly scorning,<br>
|
|
So we work, and watch, and pray;<br>
|
|
Gathering gladly<br>
|
|
Free will offerings by the way.</p>
|
|
<p>Not for selfish praise or glory,<br>
|
|
Not for objects nothing worth,<br>
|
|
But to send the blessèd story<br>
|
|
Of the Gospel o’er the earth,<br>
|
|
Telling mortals<br>
|
|
Of our Lord and Savior’s birth.</p>
|
|
<p>Up and ever at our calling,<br>
|
|
Till in death our lips are dumb,<br>
|
|
Or till, sin’s dominion falling,<br>
|
|
Christ shall in His kingdom come,<br>
|
|
And His children<br>
|
|
Reach their everlasting home.</p>
|
|
<p>Steadfast, then, in our endeavor,<br>
|
|
Heavenly Father, may we be;<br>
|
|
And forever, and forever,<br>
|
|
We will give the praise to Thee;<br>
|
|
Alleluia!<br>
|
|
Singing, all eternity.</p>
