1. This is the day of toil
Beneath earth’s sultry noon;
This is the day of service true,
But resting cometh soon.

Refrain
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
There remains a rest for us.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
There remains a rest for us.

2. Spend and be spent would we,
While lasteth time’s brief day;
No turning back in coward fear,
No lingering by the way. [Refrain]

3. Onward we press in haste,
Upward our journey still
Ours is the path the Master trod
Thro’ good report and ill. [Refrain]

4. The way may rougher grow,
The weariness increase;
We gird our loins and hasten on,
The end, the end is peace. [Refrain]
