Lab’rers for Christ, arise,
And gird you for the toil!
The dew of promise from the skies,
Already cheers the soil.
Go where the sick recline,
Where mourning hearts deplore;
And where the sons of sorrow pine,
Dispense your hallowed lore.
By faith, which looks above,
With prayer, your constant guest;
And wrap the Saviour’s
changeless love
A mantle round your breast.
So shall you share the wealth
That earth may ne’er despoil;
And the blest Gospel’s saving health
Repay your arduous toil.
