Verse 1
Come, let us away,
And his summons obey,
Who justly demands
The sweat of our brows, and the work of our hands;
His acceptable will
Let us gladly fulfil,
And rejoice in the Lord
Whose service on earth is our present reward.

Verse 2
None on earth can conceive
How happy we live
Who our labour pursue,
And do unto the Lord whatsoever we do:
Whene’er with a smile
He repays all our toil,
Of his favor possest
We an earnest obtain of our heavenly rest.

Verse 3
While earning our bread,
On the mercy we feed
Of a God reconcil’d,
The Father of mercies in Jesus the Child;
While he deigns to approve
Our service of love,
At his glory we aim,
And present our oblations in Jesus’s Name.

Verse 4
O Father, impart
His grace to my heart,
To the heart of my friends,
And companions in toil, till our pilgrimage ends,
Till our work is all done,
And receiv’d to thy throne
Our Redeemer we see,
And inherit our fulness of heaven in Thee.
