549. One More Day's Work for Jesus

1 One more day's work for Jesus,
One less of life for me;
But heav'n is nearer,
And Christ is dearer,
Than yesterday to me;
His love and light
Fill all my soul tonight.

Chorus:
One more day's work for Jesus,
One more day's work for Jesus,
One more day's work for Jesus,
One less of life for me.

2 One more day's work for Jesus;
How glorious is my King!
'Tis joy, not duty,
To speak his beauty;
My soul mounts on the wing
At the mere tho't
How Christ my life has bought. [Chorus]

3 One more day's work for Jesus;
How sweet the work has been,
To tell the story,
To show the glory
Where Christ's flock enter in!
How it did shine
In this poor heart of mine! [Chorus]

4 One more day's work for Jesus,
O yes, a weary day;
But heav'n shines clearer,
And rest comes nearer,
At each step of the way;
And Christ in all
Before his face I fall. [Chorus]

5 O blessed work for Jesus!
O rest at Jesus' feet!
There toil seems pleasure,
My wants are treasure,
And pain for him is sweet;
Lord, if I may,
I'll serve another day. [Chorus]
