CH1941, Hymn #347

Verse 1
Work while it is today!
This was our Saviour's rule;
With docile minds let us obey,
As learners in His school.

Verse 2
Lord Christ, we humbly ask
Of Thee the power and will,
With fear and meekness, every task
Of duty to fulfil.

Verse 3
At home, by word and deed,
Adorn redeeming grace;
And sow abroad the precious seed
Of truth in every place—

Verse 4
That thus the wilderness
May blossom like the rose,
And trees spring up of righteousness,
Where'er life's river flows.
