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!
