1 A call to "loyal workers"
Is sounding o’er the land;
Awake! Arise! the time is short,
The Lord, He is at hand!
Take up the cross for Jesus,
On Him fix heart and eyes,
Then in His grace sufficient
Press forward to the prize.

Refrain:
Awake! "loyal worker,"
To the work while you may;
In God’s name to conquer,
He’s calling today.

2 The prize is life eternal,
With Jesus crucified;
’Twas on the cross in agony
For us He bled and died;
Then, workers, look to Jesus,
For help to overcome,
And then in that fair morning
He’ll say to thee, "Well done." [Refrain]

3 Come, "workers," look around you,
The Master calls today;
Whate’er thy hand shall find to do,
Haste, now the call obey!
Bear nobly all for Jesus,
And in His strength abide,
Then blessed be the efforts
To win for Him a bride. [Refrain]

4 O loyal be to Jesus,
In word and thought and deed;
Then grandly will the work go on,
Where "workers" sow the seed;
Thro’ Christ our blessed master,
We vict’ry shall attain;
Then in that morn so soon,
We’ll reap the golden grain. [Refrain]
