Help us to labor on,
Savior, for Thee;
Faithful in word and deed,
O may we be.

Refrain

Till all our work is done,
Our crown of glory won,
Help us, Lord, to labor on,
Trusting in Thee.

Help us to labor on,
Cheered from above;
Sowing the word of life,
Telling Thy love.

Refrain

Help us to labor on,
Lord, not in vain;
O may we gather in,
Bright, golden grain.

Refrain

O they tell me of a home far beyond the skies,
O they tell me of a home far away;
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
O they tell me of an unclouded day.

Refrain

O the land of cloudless day,
O the land of an unclouded day,
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
O they tell me of an unclouded day.

O they tell me of a home where my friends have gone,
O they tell me of that land far away,
Where the tree of life in eternal bloom
Sheds its fragrance through the unclouded day.

Refrain

O they tell me of a King in His beauty there,
And they tell me that mine eyes shall behold
Where He sits on the throne that is whiter than snow,
In the city that is made of gold.

Refrain

O they tell me that He smiles on His children there,
And His smile drives their sorrows all away;
And they tell me that no tears ever come again
In that lovely land of unclouded day.

Refrain

Drifting away from the Savior,
Drifting to lands unknown,
Drifting away by night and by day,
Drifting, yes, drifting alone.

Refrain

Drifting away from the Savior,
Drifting away from His love,
While the Savior is tenderly calling,
You are drifting away from God.

Drifting away from the Savior,
He who would bear your load;
Drifting away by night and by day,
Drifting, yes, drifting from God.

Refrain

Drifting away from the Savior,
Fearlessly on you go;
Drifting away by night and by day,
Drifting to regions of woe.

Refrain

Drifting away from the Savior,
Even the angels weep;
Still you drift on with mirth and with song,
Out on the fathomless deep.

Refrain

Come and hear the words of Jesus,Who holds the seven stars
And who walks among the seven lamps of gold.
He says, “I know all your actions, you’ve tested wicked men,
You have persevered, though hardships o’er you rolled.
Yet I have this against you: you’ve left your first true love.
Now repent, or I’ll remove you from your place.
He who overcomes will eat fromGod’s precious tree of life.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.”

Come and hear the words of Jesus,Who is the First and Last
And Who died and then came back to life again.
He says, “I know your afflictions; you’re poor, yet you are rich.
You’ve endured much slander from the tongues of men.
Don’t be afraid of suffering; be faithful unto death,
And you will the crown of life receive one day.
He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.”

Come and hear the words of Jesus,Who holds the two-edged sword;
He says, “You’ve been true and not renounced your faith.
Yet I have some things against you: you’ve been enticed to sin;
Immorality and idols you’ve embraced.
You must repent, or I’ll come and fight you with My sword.
Those who win will hidden manna have always.
Overcomers will be given a new name cut in stone.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.”

Come and hear the words of Jesus,Whose eyes are blazing fire.
He says, “I know all your love and faith and deeds.
You are doing more than ever, yet still I bring this charge,
For you tolerate a teacher who misleads.
I’ll make you suffer greatly, unless you now repent.
You will know that I search hearts and will repay.
But I’ll give each overcomer authority to rule.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.”

Come and hear the words of Jesus,Who holds the seven stars.
He says, “People think you’re living, but you’re dead.
You must wake up now and strengthen what’s left before it dies,
For your deeds are not complete, My God has said.
Obey what you have heard now, or I’ll come like a thief.
He who overcomes will walk with Me always.
I’ll acknowledge him in Heaven; his name I’ll ne’er erase.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.”

Come and hear the words of Jesus,Who’s true and holds the key;
What He opens or He shuts will stay the same.
He says, “See, I’ve placed before you a door that’s open wide,
For you’ve kept My word and not denied My Name.
I love you; now be steadfast, so none will take your crown.
Overcomers will great pillars be some day.
I will write My new Name on them, the Name of My God too.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.”

Come and hear the words of Jesus,God’s Witness, faithful, true.
He says, “You are neither cold, nor are you hot.
So because you’re lukewarm only,I’ll spit you from My mouth,
For you think you’re rich and do not know you’re not.
Buy gold from Me and white clothes and salve so you can see.
Here I’m at the door, and now My voice I raise.
He who overcomes will with Me sit down upon My throne.
He who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.”

O paradise! O paradise!
Who doth not crave for rest?
Who would not seek the happy land
Where they that loved are blest.

Refrain

Where loyal hearts and true
Stand ever in the light.
All rapture through and through,
In God’s most holy sight?

O paradise! O paradise!
The world is growing old;
Who would not be at rest and free
Where love is never cold.

Refrain

O paradise! O paradise!
Wherefore doth death delay,
Bright death, that is the welcome dawn
Of our eternal day?

Refrain

O paradise! O paradise!
’Tis weary waiting here;
I long to be where Jesus is,
To feel, to see Him near.

Refrain

O paradise! O paradise!
I want to sin no more,
I want to be as pure on earth
As on thy spotless shore.

Refrain

O paradise! O paradise!
I greatly long to see
The special place my dearest Lord
In love prepares for me.

Refrain

O paradise! O paradise!
I feel ’twill not be long;
Patience! I almost think I hear
Faint fragments of thy song.

Refrain

Lord Jesu, King of paradise,
O keep me in Thy love,
And guide me to that happy land
Of perfect rest above.

Refrain

We shall meet in the Eden above,
In that beautiful land of the blest;
All our trials and pains will be o’er,
When we enter that mansion of rest.
In the beautiful, beautiful Eden above,
In the beautiful, beautiful Eden above,
All our trials and pains will be o’er,
When we enter that mansion of rest.

When we meet in the Eden above,
When we enter that blissful abode,
All the good who have passed on before,
We shall meet in the City of God.
In the beautiful, beautiful Eden above,
In the beautiful, beautiful Eden above,
All the good who have passed on before,
We shall meet in the City of God.

The saints of all ages are there,
The prophets and martyrs of old;
The children whose voices on earth are still,
Now sing in that city of gold.
In the beautiful, beautiful Eden above,
In the beautiful, beautiful Eden above,
The children whose voices on earth are still,
Now sing in that city of gold.
