Go, labor 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? |
2
|
Go, labor on: ’tis not for nought; Thy earthly loss is heav’nly gain; Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not; The Master praises, what are men? |
3
|
Go, labor on; your hands are weak, Your knees are faint, your souls cast down; Yet falter not; the prize you seek Is near, a kingdom and a crown. |
4
|
Go, labor on while it is day, The world’s dark night is hastening on; Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away, It is not thus that souls are won. |
5
|
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. |
6
|
Press on, faint not, keep watch and pray; Be wise the erring soul to win; Go forth into the world’s highway, Compel the wanderer to come in. |
7
|
Press on, and in thy work rejoice; For work comes rest, the prize thus won; Soon shalt thou hear the Master’s voice, The midnight cry, Behold, I come! |

What a beautiful hymn. I was listening this morning to Dave Hunt and was convicted that I have not been faithful in winning souls for Christ.
But the end is nigh and souls are perishing. I want the Lord to say to me, "Good and faithful servant."

The turning point of my life. I have been weaping over the erring soul like Jesus wept over Jerusalem and over my wasted years of self centeredness.
I am grateful to Dr Horatius Bonar, the hymn writer.

I always remember my charge as a Priest anytime I hear and ponder over the words of the hymn.. It energize me to do more for God as far as evangelism is concerned.
Cape Coast, Central, Ghana
I always feel energized hearing playing this song.... the lyrics are so touching that it makes me cry in the presence of the Lord by the Holy Spirit....
Thank you for making it available here.

This hymn is really powerful. Each stanza has a deep messenge and meaning. 'The Master praises, what are men? ' This is so encouraging. We are not looking for praise from men. God is the rewarded of every good work. Let's go on and labour for God.
Tema, Ghana
I woke up one mid-night to pray and in the course of my prayers these two songs dropped:
* 'Go Labour on spend and be spent..... '
* Hark the voice of Jesus crying who will go
and work today. And since then my life has never been the same. It's been all about soul winning.
I'm very grateful to the composer of this song. My calling as an evangelist was confirmed thru these songs.

It is so encouraging to see so many people of Ghanaian heritage here. Amidst the so called poverty God has cradled us and revealed His knowledge to us through our education system we had and churches. I pray that it is the same now and the children are not lacking in this generation. Together with all the other saints from all parts of this world we shall sing 'God made us all and God is good'. To God be the glory. Amen

Served my purpose when I had sing this hymn without a hymn book.

The Master was rejected and humiliated and we must also endure and labour for Him. No servant is greater than his Master.
