        D 
To the work, To the work, we are servants of God 
         A7                       D 
Let us follow the path that our Master has trod

With the balm of His counsel, our strength to renew 
       E7                                       A7 
Let us do with our might what our hands find to do

        D             G         D              A7     D

To the work, to the work, let the hungry be fed

To the fountain of life, let the weary be led

In the cross and its banner, our glory shall be

While we herald the tidings, salvation is free

To the work, to the work, there is labor for all

For the kingdom of darkness and error shall fall

And the love of our Father, exalted shall be

In the loud-swelling Chorus, salvation is free

To the work, to the work, in the strength of the Lord

And a robe and a crown shall our labor reward 
          D 
When the home of the faithful, our dwelling shall be 
        E7                                    A7 
And we shout with the ransomed, salvation is free
