Hymnal: Laudes Domini #908 (1884) First Line: Go, labor on, while it is day Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on, while it is day;
The world's dark night is hastening on;
Speed, speed thy work,--cast sloth away!
It is not thus that souls are won.
2 Men die in darkness at your side,
Without a hope to cheer the tomb:
Take up the torch and wave it wide--
The torch that lights time's thickest gloom.
3 Toil on,--faint not; keep watch and pray!
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway;
Compel the wanderer to come in.
4 Go, labor on: your hands are weak;
Your knees are faint, your soul cast down;
Yet falter not; the prize you seek
Is near,--a kingdom and a crown!
