One more Day's Work for Jesus

1

One more day's work for Jesus,One less of life for me:But heav'n is nearer,And Christ is dearer,Than yesterday to me;His love and lightFill all my soul to-night.

Chorus.

One more day's work for Jesus,One more day's work for Jesus,One more day's work for Jesus,One less of life for me.

2

One more day's work for Jesus;How glorious is my King!'Tis joy, not duty,To speak his beauty;My soul mounts on the wingAt the mere tho'tHow Christ my life has bought.

3

One more day's work for Jesus;How sweet the work has been,To tell the story,To show the glory,When Christ's flock enter in!How it did shineIn this poor heart of mine!

4

One more day's work for Jesus,—O yes, a weary day:But heav'n shines clearer,And rest comes nearer,At each step of the way,And Christ in all;—Before his face I fall.

5

O blessed work for Jesus!O rest at Jesus' feet!There toil seems pleasure,My wants are treasure,And pain for him is sweet.Lord, if I may,I'll serve another day.
