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 every 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.
