Brother, you may work for Jesus

1

Brother, you may work for Jesus;God has given you a placeIn some portion of his vineyard,And will give sustaining grace.He has bidden you to labor,And has promised a reward—Even joy and life eternalIn the kingdom of your Lord.

2

Brother, you may pray for Jesus,In your closet and at home,In the village, in the city,Or wherever you may roam;Pray that he will send the SpiritInto some dear sinner's heart,And that in his soul's salvationYou may bear some humble part.

3

Brother, you may sing for Jesus;O how precious is his love!Praise him for his boundless blessings,Ever coming from above;Sing how Jesus died to save you,How your sin and guilt he bore,How his blood hath sealed your pardon,—Sing for Jesus evermore.

4

Brother, you may live for Jesus,Him who died that you might live;O, then all your ransomed powersTo his service freely give;Thus for Jesus you may labor,And for Jesus sing and pray;Consecrate your life to Jesus—Love and serve him every day.
