As wise servants invest their time and gold,
So good things come to those who work and pray;
Faithfulness is the fruit that yields tenfold,
The buried seed will bud and bloom one day.
Each one of us performs a different role,
Some men will plant or water, others tend;
Each body part together makes a whole,
And God shall give the increase in the end.
So work hard, plod the plow, finish the race,
Your toils, sweat, and tears are not in vain;
The Spirit of God will give you the grace
To rise each morn and do your best again.
And after all our labors in the sun,
We’ll rest and hear our Master say, “Well done.”
