1 Jesus calls us to His ser­vice,
Call us to it now;
Bids us leave our sins and fol­lies,
And the world’s vain show;
Bids us do the work of du­ty,
Work and watch and pray;
Work for Him who died to save us,
Work while it is day.

2 Shall His voice in vain ad­dress us?
Can we still de­lay?
No, with ear­nest faith­ful pur­pose,
We will now ob­ey;
Selfish coun­sels firm re­ject­ing,
No more led as­tray;
We will do the work of du­ty,
Work, while it is day.

3 Jesus, Son of God our Fa­ther,
Holy One di­vine,
Heart and life we here sur­ren­der,
To be whol­ly Thine;
Cross, and crown and grace, our sym­bols:
Cross, to vanquish sin;
Crown, to fix our gaze on Heav­en,
Grace, to let us in.
