Verse 1
Come, let us anew
Our calling pursue,
Go forth with the sun,
And rejoice as a giant our circuit to run:
Whom Jesus commands
To work with our hands,
Obeying his word,
We a service perform to our heavenly Lord.

Verse 2
While we labour for him
And each moment redeem,
His service we own
Our freedom indeed, and our heaven begun:
If he give us a smile
We are paid for our toil,
If our work he approve,
’Tis a work of the Lord, and a labour of love.

Verse 3
Our wages are sure
Who his burthen endure:
And we cannot complain
Of our daily delight as a wearisome pain;
The labour is o’re
And fatigues us no more
When a moment is past,
But the blessed effect shall eternally last.
