Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Go labour on, spend and be spent,
Thy joy to do the Father's will,
It is the way the Master went,
Should not the servant tread it still?
REFRAIN
Go forth! Go forth into the world's highway,
Go forth! Go forth into the world's highway.
Go forth! into the world's highway,
Compel the wanderer to come in.
VERSE 2
Go labour on, 'tis not for naught,
Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain.
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not,
The Master praises, what are men?
VERSE 3
Go labour on, enough while here,
If He shall praise thee, if He deign,
Thy willing heart to mark and cheer,
No toil for Him shall be in vain.
VERSE 4
Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice,
For toil, comes rest for exile home,
Soon shall thou hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight peal Behold I come.
