Mission Work.

By Hannah More

THE work, 'tis true, is thine, The mission work we do, May we pursue it as divine Most precious Lord, and true.

We love thy labor, Lord, We trust thy firm decree, We would enforce thy holy word, And live, dear Lord, for thee.

Give souls, O Lord, for hire, No other boon we crave! For grace to win them we desire, The power is thine to save.

To spend our lives for thee, Is sweeter far than gold! What else can we desire to be But shepherds in thy fold.

We know that beasts of prey Are seeking to devour, O make us wise to choose the way, To labor with thy power.
