16643. The Work We Love

1 We come to­ge­ther here, once more,
To sing and speak and pray;
None should be idle in God’s house
On this His ho­ly day.

Refrain:
We are pass­ing on­ward,
To our Fa­ther’ dwell­ing;
Onward, for­ward to the bet­ter land!
When we cross the riv­er
We shall dwell for­ev­er
In the land of pa­ra­dise at God’s right hand.

2 Oh, how de­light­ful here to meet,
A cheer­ful, hap­py throng,
To learn of wis­dom from God’s word,
And join in glad­some song. [Refrain]

3 This is a work we love so well,
Sinners to win—our call,
For Jesus died to save the lost,
And grace is free for all. [Refrain]

4 Soon will our la­bors have an end
And we’ll be called to go,
To be with Christ, and all the good,
Where liv­ing wa­ters flow. [Refrain]
