CHRISTIAN ACTIVITY.

Come, labor on : Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain, While all around him waves the golden grain, And every servant hears the Master say, “Go, work to-day”?

Come, labor on : The laborers are few, the field is wide. New stations must be filled, and blanks supplied : From voices distant far, or near at home, The call is, “Come.”

Come, labor on : The enemy is watching, night and day, To sow the tares, to snatch the seed away ; While we in sleep our duty have forgot, He slumbereth not.

Come, labor on : Away with gloomy doubt and faithless fear ! No arm so weak but may do service here ; By feeblest agents can our God fulfill His righteous will.

Come, labor on : No time for rest, till glows the western sky, While the long shadows o’er our pathway lie, And a glad sound comes with the setting sun, “Servants, well done !”

Come, labor on : The toil is pleasant, the reward is sure ; Blessed are those who to the end endure ; How full their joy, how deep their rest shall be, O Lord, with thee.
