Come, labor on.

Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain

While all around him waves the golden grain?

Come, labor on.

To young and old the gospel gladness bear;

Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly.

No time for rest; till glows the western sky,

Till the long shadows o'r our pathway lie,

And a glad sound comes with the setting sun,

"Well done, well done!"
