Go, labour on

• • Go, labour on, spend, and be spent, 
  • thy joy to do the Father's will; 
  • it is the way the Master went, 
  • should not the servant tread it still? 
  • 
    
  • Go, labour on; 'This not for nought, 
  • thy earthly loss is heavenly gain; 
  • men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not, 
  • the Master praises, what are men? 
  • 
    
  • Men die in darkness at your side, 
  • without a hope to cheer the tomb: 
  • take up the torch, and wave it wide, 
  • the torch that lights time's thickest 
  • gloom. 
  • 
    
  • Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice, 
  • for toil comes rest, for exile home; 
  • soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's 
  • voice, 
  • the midnight peal, ‘Behold, I come!’
