HYMN: To the work, we are servants of God | A o sise! Ao sise! Om’Olorun ni wa

ENGLISH LYRICS: To the work, to the work

We shall give ourselves to the ministry of the word.” Acts. 6:4

1.  To the work, to the work! we are servants of God;
    Let us follow the path that our
    Master has trod;
    With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew;
    Let us do with our might what our hands find to do;

Chorus:
    Toiling on, toiling on,
    Toiling on, toiling on,
    Let us hope, let us watch,
    And labour till the Master comes.

2. To the work, to the work! let the hungry be fed,
    To the fountain of life let the weary be led;
    In the cross and its banner our glory shall be;
    While we herald the tidings, salvation is free;

3. To the work, to the work! there is labour for all,
    For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall;
    And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be
    In the loud-swelling chorus,
    Salvation is free.

4. To the work, to the work in the strength of the Lord,
    And a robe and a crown shall our labour reward;
    When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be,
    And we shout with the ransomed,
    "Salvation is free."

Amen.
