CH1941, Hymn #622

Verse 1
One more day's work for Jesus,
One less of life for me;
But heaven is nearer,
And Christ is dearer,
Than yesterday to me;
His love and light
Fill all my soul tonight.

Verse 2
One more day's work for Jesus;
How glorious is my King!
Tis joy, not duty,
To speak His beauty;
My soul mounts on the wing
At the mere thought
How Christ my life has bought.

Verse 3
One more day's work for Jesus;
How sweet the work has been,
To tell the story,
To show the glory,
When Christ's flock enter in!
How it did shine
In this poor heart of mine!

Verse 4
One more day's work for Jesus—
O yes, a weary day;
But heaven shines clearer,
And rest comes nearer,
At each step of the way,
And Christ in all—
Before His face I fall.

Verse 5
O blessed work for Jesus!
O rest at Jesus' feet!
There toil seems pleasure,
My wants are treasure,
And pain for Him is sweet.
Lord, if I may,
I'll serve another day.
