Let us work with a will for Jesus while we may,—
He is calling for reapers—let us then obey;
Precious moments are passing, brother, watch and pray;—
Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home.
There's a cross to be borne if we the crown would wear,
There is joy with the angels that we each may share;
Let us rise then to duty, and for Christ prepare,—
Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home.
Shall we go empty handed from the harvest here,
With but leaves for the master, when he shall appear?
Oh, my brother, arouse ye, for the night is near,—
Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home.

Ev'ry day brings us nearer home,
Ev'ry day brings us nearer home,
Ev'ry day brings us nearer home,
Ev'ry day brings us nearer home.
Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home,
Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home,
Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home,
Ev'ry day brings us nearer to our home.
