Representative lyrics

Spanish (Original Language)

1. Placentero nos es trabajar en la viña del gran Rey Jesús, y honroso nos es predicar a Su pueblo Su ley y Su luz. Por Su luz, por Su luz, placentero nos es trabajar. Por Su luz, por Su luz, moriremos en El sin pesar.

2. La palabra de Dios escuchad con ahínco, lealtad y fervor. Para siempre jamás recordad Su pureza, verdad y amor. Con amor, con amor, la palabra de Dios escuchad. Con amor, con amor, la bandera de Dios empuñad.

3. ¡Oh hermanos, adiós, pues, adiós! El momento de ir vino ya. Si guardamos la fe en el gran Dios, nos veremos aún más allá. Más allá, más allá. ¡Oh hermanos, adiós, pues, adiós! Más allá, más allá, moraremos con Dios en amor.

1. Oh, how great is our joy ev’ry day As we serve in the work of our Lord. What an honor to walk in His way As we share Jesus’ light and His word. Share His light, share His light— Oh, how great is our joy ev’ry day, ev’ry day. Share His light, share His light— As we serve in this glorious way.

2. Hear the word of the Lord unto all. Teach with gladness His truths from above. Oh, remember and always recall Jesus’ goodness, His grace, and His love. Share His love, share His love— Hear the word of the Lord unto all, unto all. Share His love, share His love— As you faithfully honor your call.

3. Oh, dear brothers and sisters, rejoice, For the time of our labors has come. Let us lift up our hearts and our voice Till we meet in our heavenly home. Till we meet, till we meet, Oh, dear brothers and sisters, rejoice. Till we meet, till we meet, Let us lift up our hearts and rejoice.
