Hymn 592 – COME Labour on who dares stand idle | C&S English Hymnary

1. COME Labour on who dares stand idle on the harvest plain While all around Him wave the golden grains And to each servant do the master say Go work today. 2. Come Labour on Claim the high calling Angels cannot shame To young and old the Gospel gladness bear Redeem the time, its hours too swiftly fly The night draws nigh. 3. Come Labour on The labourer are few and the field is wide New stations must be filled and blanks supplied From voices distant far, or near at home The call is “come.” 4. Come Labour on Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear No arm so weak but may do service here By feeblest agents can our God fulfil His righteous will. 5. Come Labour on No time to rest, till glows the western sky While the long shadows O‘er our path way lie And a glad sound comes with the setting sun Servant well done. 6. Come Labour on The toil is pleasant, the reward is due Blessed are those who to the end endure How full their joy, how deep their rest shall be O Lord with Thee AMEN
