Their earthly task who fail to do

1.

Their earthly task who fail to do

Neglect their heav’nly business too

Or know what faith and duty mean

Who use religion as a screen

Asunder put what God hath joined

A diligent and pious mind

2.

Full well the labour of our hands

With fervency of spirit stands

For God, who all our days hath giv’n

From toil excepts but one in seven

And lab’ring while we time redeem

We please the Lord and work for Him

3.

Happy we live, when God doth fill

Our hands with work our hearts with zeal

For every toil, if He enjoin

Becomes a sacrifice divine

And like the bless’d spirits above

The more we serve, the more we love
