1 Out in the market-place idle ones stand,
Bid them go labor today;
Jesus wants workers to heed his commands,
Bid them go labor today;
Call them to follow wherever he leads,
Tell them he’s mighty, he’ll meet all their needs
Pay will be given if faithful their deeds,
Bid them go labor today.
2 Many, so many stand thoughtlessly by,
Bid them go labor today;
Perishing ones they can save if they’ll try,
Bid them go labor today;
While there are duties that ought to be done,
While there are souls that just now should be won,
Why will the servants so idly look on?
Bid them go labor today.
3 Some have in ease all their youthful hours spent,
Bid them go labor today;
Idleness never can bring sweet content,
Bid them go labor today;
Now white the fields of the harvest we see,
Someone must labor if sav’d it shall be,
Who then will answering say, “Lord, send me,
Gladly I’ll labor today.”
