LET US WORK AND PRAY.

By George Frisbie

BY GEORGE FRISBIE.
BRETHREN, we are called to labor In our blessed Master's name, Called the precious seed to scatter, Fearless of reproach or shame. See the fields are white to harvest; Still the laborers are few; Jesus calls on you, my brethren, Something in his name to do. Look around you; souls are living Heedless of the coming day, When the things of time shall vanish And forever pass away. Why not tell them of the Saviour, Who was nailed upon the tree, That, by tasting death for sinners, They might be from sin set free. Tell the worldling and the careless Of your Saviour's boundless love; Tell the outcast and the wanderer Of a home with Christ above. Let the love of Christ constrain you To proclaim the joyful sound Of salvation for the guilty, And a ransom for the bound. Ask your Lord for grace to labor; He will give you all you need; Seek the Spirit's help and guidance Earnestly with souls to plead. Let your seed by prayer be watered Ere you strew it o'er the ground; With your Father's blessing on it, It shall yet with fruit abound. While our Lord delays his coming, Do not idle time away, O my brethren, be not weary; Now's the time to work and pray.
