GRH 466 Carry Your Cross and Work

(1)
Oh, the joy to preach His word,
Bearing the cross.
Jesus leads me all the way,
Joy surpassing loss.
Tho’ the way be rough and steep
Troubles press me down,
Jesus makes the cross become
Then, a glorious crown.

(2)
Jesus surely will return,
O glorious day!
We must work to win the lost
Now while still we may.
Watch and pray and read His Word,
Worldliness forsake,
Then we’ll see our blessed Lord
Glory to partake.
