Call to Labor in God's Vineyard.
1The vineyard of the Lord
Before his laborers lies;
And, lo! we see the vast reward
Which waits us in the skies.
2O let us then proceed
In God's great work below,
And following our triumphant Head,
To further conquests go.
3And let our heart and mind
Continually ascend,
That haven of repose to find,
Where all our labors end.
4What honor to behold,
In that sublime abode,
The patriarchs and prophets old,
And all the men of God!
5Then spend our days beneath,
Toiling in cheerful hope;
And fearless pass the vale of death,
And gain the mountain top.
