No Resting Time Here

Representative Text

1 All Christians who work in the field,
Expecting to have a great yield,
Must work till the Lord shall appear,
For there is no resting time here.

Refrain:
Oh, there is no resting time here;
Work on, till the Lord shall appear;
Bright sheaves we must bring to Jesus our king,
And there is no resting time here.

2 Dear friend, are you working each day?
Your love do you truly display?
How much on the field have you done,
For Jesus, the Father’s own Son? [Refrain]

3 If faithful to Him you are found,
In Heaven your soul shall be crowned;
And there, with the faithful and blest,
Your soul shall have glorious rest. [Refrain]
