The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1044

1044. Laborers of Christ, arise

1 Laborers of Christ, arise,
And gird you for the toil!
The dew of promise from the skies
Already cheers the soul.

2 Go where the sick recline,
Where mourning hearts deplore;
And where the sons of sorrow pine,
Dispense your hallowed store.

3 Be faith, which looks above,
With prayer, your constant guest;
And wrap the Saviour's changeless love
A mantle round your breast.

5 So shall you share the wealth
That earth may ne'er despoil,
And the blest gospel's saving health
Repay your arduous toil.
