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

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.

We consecrate ourselves to Thee
As servants true, as warriors brave and true.

''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... ''
