I WANT TO BE A WORKER

I WANT TO BE A WORKER

I want to be a worker for the Lord,
I want to love and trust His holy Word,
I want to sing and pray,
Be busy every day
In the vineyard of the Lord.

Refrain

I will work, I will pray,
In the vineyard, in the vineyard of the Lord.
I will work, I will pray.
I will labor every day, in the vineyard of the Lord.

I want to be a worker every day,
I want to lead the erring in the way
That leads to Heav’n above,
Where all is peace and love,
In the vineyard of the Lord.

Refrain

I want to be a worker strong and brave,
I want to trust in Jesus’ pow’r to save;
All who will truly come
Shall find a happy home
In the vineyard of the Lord.

Refrain

I want to be a worker; help me, Lord,
To lead the lost and erring to Thy Word,
That points to joys on high
Where pleasures never die,
In the vineyard of the Lord.

ANHELO TRABAJAR POR EL SEÑOR

(YO QUIERO TRABAJAR)

Anhelo trabajar por el Señor,
Confiando en su palabra y en su amor,
Quiero yo cantar y orar,
Y ocupado siempre estar
En la viña del Señor.

Coro

Trabajar y orar,
En la viña, en la viña del Señor;
Sí, mi anhelo es orar,
Y ocupado siempre estar,
En la viña del Señor.

Anhelo cada día trabajar,
Y esclavos del pecado libertar.
Conducirlos a Jesús,
Nuestro Guía, nuestra Luz,
En la viña del Señor.

Coro

Anhelo ser obrero de valor,
Confiando en el poder del Salvador;
El que quiera trabajar
Hallará también lugar
En la viña del Señor.

Coro

Pedro Grado (1862-1923).
