1 There is never a way so narrow or short,
But the Master’s work is there;
There is something to do for His dear sake,
Or something to calmly bear.
Refrain:
There is never a day, there is never a place,
But the Master’s work is there;
There is something to do for His dear sake,
Or something to calmly bear.
2 There are trials to meet with Christian faith,
And duties with Christian grace;
And there’s Christian sweetness to every one,
To be given in every place. [Refrain]
3 Their working days are never so hard
Who find in Christ a stay;
And days of darkness are days of light
When Jesus leads the way. [Refrain]
4 There are flowers down in the valley low,
And over the mountain side,
Which never were praised by a human voice
Nor by human eyes descried. [Refrain]
5 Yet as sweet as the breath of the royal rose,
Is the perfume they exhale;
And why and where those flowers bloom,
The good Lord knoweth well. [Refrain]
