RCCG Hymn 470
Their Earthly Task Who Fail to Do
"Not slothful in business." - Rom 12:11
1
Their earthly task who fail to do, Neglect their heav'nly business too; Nor know what faith and duty mean, Who use religion as a screen: Asunder put what God hath joined, A diligent and pious mind.
2
Full well the labour of our hands With fervency of spirit stands; For God, who all our days hath giv'n, From toil excepts but one in seven: And lab'ring while we time redeem, We please the Lord, and work for Him.
3
Happy we live, when God doth fill Our hands with work, our hearts with zeal; For every toil, if He enjoin, Becomes a sacrifice divine, And like the bless'd spirits above, The more we serve, the more we love.
