WORKING FOR JESUS.

By Mrs. J. E. Gilchrist

Just working for Jesus that is all To hasten His glorious appearing; Working while patiently waiting His call, And knowing the glad day is nearing. Our toil through the wearisome day is light When Jesus our effort is blessing; Our hearts sing his praises from morning till night, His love and our shelter confessing.

Just working for Jesus day by day, Not seeking the way of our pleasure; But scattering sunshine and joy all the way, And filling each hour of leisure. His yoke is so easy, his burden so light, Whenever the cross we are bearing, That whether the pathway be somber or bright, His love we will always be sharing.

Just working for Jesus every hour, To cheer up the fainting and weary; To plant just a seed of a joy-giving flower In a heart that is cheerless and dreary. Just working and trusting in Jesus alone, While others their pleasure are serving; And hoping at last for a place by the throne, In the midst of his blood-purchased treasure.
