In The Master's Name

by Edward Albert Barnes

Are we sowing with a ready hand,
Gospel words that hold the precious seed?
Are we helping with a loving heart,
Where are seen so many in their need?

Are we seeking to reclaim the lost,
By his call so tender and so sweet?
Are we praying that the world at large
May be brought to worship at his feet?

Are we speaking for the good of all,
Gospel words of his redeeming love?
Are we bearing to the heart of grief
Precious balm of comfort from above?

Are we living in his service here,
Serving well, our love and zeal to show?
Are we giving with a willing heart,
To advance his kingdom here below?

Chorus

Are we doing this?
Are we doing this?
Working while we may?
In the Master's name,
For the Master's sake,
Labor while 'tis day.
