Always and All for Jesus
Let us go forth to our labor of love,
Always and all for Jesus
;
Zealous to glean for the garners above,
Always and all for Jesus
;
Strength for the work we receive from the King,
Always and all for Jesus
;
Nobody fails who is trusting in Him,
Always and all for Jesus.
Refrain
Always and all for Jesus,
Sing with a glad refrain,
Always and all for Jesus,
Till our Lord comes again;
Always and all for Jesus,
Gladly we yield Thine own.
The harvest shall end,
And our Lord shall descend,
To gather His reapers home.
Great is the work, and the workers are few,
Always and all for Jesus
;
Do with your might what your hands find to do,
Always and all for Jesus
;
Stand not in idleness all the day long,
Always and all for Jesus
;
Strive for a part in the harvesters’ song,
Always and all for Jesus.
Refrain
Work till the summons of Ye blessèd, come,
Always and all for Jesus
;
Calls us to join in the glad harvest home,
Always and all for Jesus
;
Then with the sheaves we have gathered in love,
Always and all for Jesus
;
Safe we’ll be housed in the garners above,
Always and all for Jesus.
Refrain

Today our church has left the building and we are gathering at the local schools in our communities to serve in getting the school yards and classrooms ready for the new school year.
“the Lord shall descend and gather His reapers home”….look forward to that day! Enjoy your day of service. I know it will be a sweet fragrance to your Heavenly Father! 🙂
What an awesome idea….to show the true meaning of loving the Lord…being in his service.
Love the words of the hymn!!
Great idea for a church project! I love those old churches in England. laurie
