Be Up And Doing

Author: D. Frank Garton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10274 First Line: O the Lord has need of children in His service Refrain First Line: Then be up, up, up, up and doing Lyrics: 1 O the Lord has need of children in His service, He has something for each little one to do; He is calling for the faithful and the willing, He is calling for brave hearts and true. Refrain: Then be up, up, up, up and doing, With hearts ever brave and true; Take your place in the race, Find the work that is waiting for you. 2 There is need of little soldiers in the battle, For the hosts of sin are rising in their might; Then arise and join the valiant little army, Wage a warfare for good and for right. [Refrain] 3 There is need of little workers in the harvest, For the grain is ripe and ready for the yield; Then arise and join His band of little workers, Go ye forth to the great harvest field. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O the Lord has need of children in His service]
