Brother, you may work for Jesus;
God has given you a place
In some portion of his vineyard,
And will give sustaining grace.
He has bidden you to labor,
And has promised a reward—
Even joy and life eternal
In the kingdom of your Lord. Brother, you may pray for Jesus,
In your closet and at home,
In the village, in the city,
Or wherever you may roam;
Pray that he would send the Spirit
Into some dear sinner’s heart,
And that in his soul’s salvation
You may bear some humble part. Brother, you may sing for Jesus;
Oh! how precious is his love!
Praise him for his boundless blessings,
Ever coming from above;
Sing how Jesus died to save you,
How your sin and guilt he bore;
How his blood hath sealed your pardon,
Sing for Jesus evermore. Brother, you may live for Jesus,
Him who died that you might live;
O, then all your ransomed powers
To his service freely give;
Thus for Jesus you may labor,
And for Jesus sing and pray;
Consecrate your life to Jesus—
Love and serve him every day.
