Do something for Christ

Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #50 (1867) First Line: If you can not in the pulpit Refrain First Line: O! then, be up and doing now Lyrics: 1 If you can not in the pulpit, Preach the Word with flowing zeal, Telling of the love of Jesus, Causing multitudes to feel, You can on the Lord's day, holy, In the pleasant Sunday school, Meet among the high and lowly, Spreading forth the Gospel rule. Chorus: O! then, be up and doing now-- Doing some good work for the Lord; Ever in your pathway strewing, Holy precepts from his Word. 2 If you can not, in the jungle, Far in foreign lands away, Teach the poor, benighted heathen To forsake their sins and pray; You can send the means to help them The pure light of truth to find; You can aid the missionary, Thus to christianize their mind. [Chorus] 3 O! then, pray be up and doing Some good work for Christ, the Lord; Ever in your pathway strewing Holy precepts from his Word; That some poor benighted creatures May their evil ways forsake. And from Christ the Lord, the Giver, His own righteousness partake. [Chorus] 4 Then you can look forward, happy In the thought of doing good; Hear the welcome plaudit given, "You my words have underwood; You have truly preached my Gospel, You have now proclaimed my Word; You have been a true disciple; Now rejoice in Christ your Lord." [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [If you can not in the pulpit]
