Commontide

Before Receiving Communion

Be present, be present, O Jesus, our great High Priest, as you were present with your disciples, and be known to us in the breaking of bread; who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.

Hymnal

Come, labor on

№ 64 · ORA LABORA · Praise — The Church · Jane Borthwick

1.Come, labor on. Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain
While all around him waves the golden grain?
And to each servant does the Master say,
"Go work today."

2.Come, labor on.
Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here:
By feeblest agents may our God fulfill
His righteous will.

3.Come, labor on.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share—
To young and old the gospel gladness bear;
Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly.
The night draws nigh.

4.Come, labor on.
No time for rest, till glows the western sky,
Till the long shadows o'er our pathway lie,
And a glad sound comes with the setting sun,
"Servants, well done!"
