Hymn Congregation Standipg) Tune, Quebec
Go, labor on; spend and be spent.
Thy joy to do the Fathers will;
1t is the way the Master went,
Should not the servant tread it still?
Go, labor on; enough, lille re,
If He shall praise thee. if He deign
The willing heart to mark and cheer:
No toll for him shall be in vain.
Go. labor on, while it is day,
The worlds dark night is fastening on.
Speed. speed thy work! cast sloth away
Ii is not thus that souls are won.
Toll on, faint not, keep watch, and pray;
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the worlds highway
ompei the wanderer to come in.
Toll on, and in thy toll rejoice;
For toll comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice
T:le midnight peal, Behold, come!''

Ye Christian Reralds! go proclaim
Salvation through Immanuel's name;
10 distant Chimes the tldings bear
And plant the Rose of Sharon there
He'll shield you with wall of fire,
With flaming zeal your breast inspire,
Bid raging winds their fury cease,
And hush the tempest into peace
And when our labors all are Ger,
Then we shall meet to part no more
Meet with the blood bought throng to fall
And crown our Jesus-Lord of ali
