Author: J. R. Baxter, Jr. Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Working, working for the blessed Master Refrain First Line: Working now for the King of all kings Lyrics: 1 Working, working for the blessed Master, Keeping tones of gladness ever ringing; Working, working, ev'ry day still faster, Happy that sheaves we're bringing. Refrain: Working now for the King of all kings, And trusting Him along the straight and the narrow way, Happiness true to us it now brings, We dearly love Him each day; (We know that) He'll reward each soul that to Him clings, And He will hear us all when we unto Him shall pray, Working, working for the King, of glory, O accept our labor, Lord, we pray. 2 Working, working for a leader glorious, Just to serve our Lord bring us true pleasure; Working, working we shall be victorious, Jesus will grant full measure. [Refrain] 3 Working, working for the risen Savior, Happy is His service, ever singing, Working, working, winning grace and favor, Trusting His love and clinging.
