Lyon Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11599 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: "More and better work for Jesus" Refrain First Line: Let us keep it on our banners Lyrics: 1 "More and better work for Jesus,: Is the burning cry today; More of consecrated service, More of seeking souls astray. Refrain: Let us keep it on our banners, Write it in our hearts with care, More and better work for Jesus, In each deed and song and prayer. 2 More and better work for Jesus, More of lightening others’ cares, "More of gleaning for the Master," More of plucking out the tares. [Refrain] 3 More and better work for Jesus, More of sacrifice of gain; More of binding up the wounded, More of balm to soothe their pain. [Refrain] 4 More of kindness to the erring, More of sympathy and love, More of humble Christ-like living, Will make earth like Heav’n above. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: MENDOCINO
