The work is Thine, O Christ our Lord, The cause for which we stand; And being Thine, ’twill overcome Its foes on every hand. Yet grains of wheat, before they grow, Are buried in the earth below; All that is old doth perish there To form a life both new and fair: So too are we from self and sin made free. |

Through suff’ring Thou, O Christ, didst go Unto Thy throne above, And leadest now the selfsame way Those true in faith and love; So lead us, then, though suff’rings wait, To share Thy kingdom’s heav’nly state; Thy death has broken Satan’s might, And leads the faithful to the light; Eternal light, from darkness into light. |

Thou hast, O Savior, led the way Through agony and death; O give, we pray, yet more and more Thy Spirit’s living breath! Send messengers o’er land and sea To bring Thy children all to Thee; Thy name can save, Thy name makes free; We consecrate ourselves to Thee As servants true, as warriors brave and true. |

A fresh consecration (v. 3) every morning will enable the servant-lovers of Christ to be faithful (v. 2) in the Lord's work to the end.

''The work is thine... ''not ours, we have nothing to boast about but as servants -labourers to the Lord himself who have bought us for himself with precious price!
'' The work is Thine, O Christ our Lord,
The cause for which we stand... ''

Since when I stumbled into this hymn, myself and my children have become so enthusiastic, getting inspired every day!
