LyicsIn the name of God advancing,
Sow thy seed at morning light;
Cheerily the furrows turning,
Labor on with all thy might;
Look not to the far off future;
Do the work which nearest lies;
Sow thou must before thou reapest;
Rest at last is labor's prize.
Standing still is dangerous ever;
Toil is meant for Christmas now;
Let there be, when evening cometh,
Honest sweat upon thy brow;
And the Master shall come smiling,
When work stops, at set of sun,
Saying, as he pays the wages,
"Good and faithful one, well done."
