1 Our faith to God-ward must in these days spread abroad.
To show we've turned from idols to the living God.
Our work of faith must grow exceedingly,
The labor of our love increase abundantly,
His sanctifying work in us go on and on,
While in patience of hope we will watch till He comes.
2 The love for all the brothers, in our midst is found,
But in these days our love must increase and abound.
Our work of faith must grow exceedingly,
The labor of our love increase abundantly,
His sanctifying work in us go on and on,
While in patience of hope we will watch till He comes.
3 Our spirit, soul, and body wholly sanctified —
Our faithful Lord will do it to prepare His Bride,
Our work of faith must grow exceedingly,
The labor of our love increase abundantly,
His sanctifying work in us go on and on,
While in patience of hope we will watch till He comes.
4 The Lord Himself shall come, and we shall be with Him —
Oh, what a glorious hope! Come quickly, Lord, Amen.
Our work of faith must grow exceedingly,
The labor of our love increase abundantly,
His sanctifying work in us go on and on,
While in patience of hope we will watch till He comes.
