All he expects me to do.
Lab'ring till set of the sun.

Will-ing to do for the Master
Cheerfully, earnestly, gladly
Sow-ing good seed for the harvest, Plucking up bri-ars and weeds.
Say; Thou wert faithful, my servant, Rest, for thy work is now done.

Doing my best for the Master; He has done great things for me.

1. Tossing on the bil-low, Rocking in the blast, Sick'ning on the pil-low,
2. Gone each earthly treasure, Cut away each mast, Vanished earthly pleasure,
3. Sorrows mul-ti-ply-ing, Prospects overcast, Weeping, groaning, sighing,

Verg-ing to the last; Skies all clad in sable, Storm-clouds scudding past,

Trembling 'neath the death-dread, Still I'm anchored fast.

I am in the Life-Boat, I am in the Life-Boat, Safe forevermore!
