The World Has Need of Willing Men
The World Has Need of Willing Men
1. The world has need of willing men,
Who wear the worker’s seal;
Come, help the good work move along;
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Put your shoulder to the wheel; push along;
Do your duty with a heart full of song.
We all have work; let no one shirk;
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
2. The Church has need of helping hands
And hearts that know and feel;
The work to do is here for you;
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Put your shoulder to the wheel; push along;
Do your duty with a heart full of song.
We all have work; let no one shirk;
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
3. Then don’t stand idly looking on;
The fight with sin is real;
It will be long but must go on;
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Put your shoulder to the wheel; push along;
Do your duty with a heart full of song.
We all have work; let no one shirk;
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
4. Then work and watch and fight and pray
With all thy might and zeal;
Push ev’ry worthy work along;
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Put your shoulder to the wheel; push along;
Do your duty with a heart full of song.
We all have work; let no one shirk;
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
