Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- Sons of labor, dear to Jesus,
- To your homes and work again;
- Go with brave hearts back to duty,
- Face the peril, bear the pain.
- Be your dwellings ne’er so lowly,
- Yet remember, by your bed,
- That the Son of God most holy
- Had not where to lay His head.
- 2.
- Sons of labor, think of Jesus
- As you rest your homes within,
- Think of that sweet Babe of Mary
- In the stable of the inn.
- Think how in the sacred story
- Jesus took a humble grade,
- And the Lord of Life and Glory
- Worked with Joseph at His trade.
- 3.
- Sons of labor, pray to Jesus;
- Oh, how Jesus prayed for you!
- In the moonlight, on the mountain,
- Where the shimmering olives grew.
- When you rise up at the dawning,
- Ere in toil you wend your way,
- Pray, as He prayed, in the morning,
- Long before the break of day.
- 4.
- Sons of labor, be like Jesus,
- Undefilèd, chaste, and pure;
- And, though Satan tempt you sorely,
- By His grace you shall endure.
- Husband, father, son and brother,
- Be ye gentle, just and true—
- Be ye kind to one another,
- As the Lord is kind to you.
- 5.
- Sons of labor, seek for Jesus,
- Where He tells you ye shall find,
- In the children, ’mid the mourners,
- In the sick, poor, lame and blind—
- “Search the Scriptures,” He entreats you,
- “For of Me they testify”;
- Love His altar, where He meets you,
- Saying, “Fear not—It is I.”
- 6.
- Sons of labor, go to Jesus,
- In your sorrow, shame and loss;
- He is nearest, you are dearest,
- When you bravely bear His cross.
- Go to Him, who died to save you,
- And is still the sinner’s Friend;
- And the great love, which forgave you,
- Will forgive you to the end.
- 7.
- Sons of labor, live for Jesus,
- Be your work your worship, too;
- In His Name, and to His glory,
- Do whate’er you find to do;
- Till this night of sin and sorrow
- Be for ever overpast;
- And we see the golden morrow,
- Home with Jesus, home at last!
Lyrics: Samuel R. Hole, in Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889.
