The Duty that Calls Today

Author: Lanta Wilson Smith Hymnal: Praise and Promise #45 (1900) First Line: Somewhere is waiting a blessed work Refrain First Line: Search for it, find it! God's holy work Lyrics: 1 Somewhere is waiting a blessed work That only your hand can do; Work that the Master in wisdom planned, And placed in this world for you. Refrain: Search for it, find it! God’s holy work; It never is far away; Find it by doing with heart and soul The duty that calls today. 2 Duty may bring you to heights of fame, Or lead to some lowly vale; Either will yield you a golden crown; Then never despair nor fail. [Refrain] 3 Whether you toil in the busy world, Or brighten some humble place, Blessed the work of the Master will be, And rich His abundant grace. [Refrain] 4 Somewhere is waiting—oh, slight it not— The work that you best can do; Seek thro’ the pathway of faith and prayer The mission God meant for you. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Somewhere is waiting a blessed work]
