A Great and Marv'lous Work is Ours
"'A Great and Marv'lous Work Is Ours' is a hymn that celebrates the work of our day, to build up the kingdom of God and prepare for the return of our Lord, Jesus Christ. This hymn encourages Saints to be courageous and faithful during the coming trials...With cheerful mind and ready hands press forward, holding hope steadfast, til gathering from ev'ry land, we rise to meet our Lord at last" (Toni Thomas).
Lyrics
Verse one
A great and marv'lous work is ours
To roll God's kingdom through the earth!
And ready in these final hours,
Our hearts, to magnify His work.
Though now the hour grows dark and fierce,
As the elect, be not dismayed.
For every storm of doubt must cease
When dawns that bright, eternal day.
Verse two
Be never weary of the work;
The prize is great, the promise sure--
By oath and covenant conferred--
We will obtain if we endure.
Now let us to the task at hand
Bend all our strength and lend our best,
That we may with the worthy stand
And now and ever claim His rest.
Verse three
Ascend the high and holy mount!
Behold the ensign there unfurled
As righteousness, from heaven sent,
Joins truth below to flood the earth!
With cheerful mind and ready hands
Press forward, holding hope steadfast,
Til gathering from ev'ry land,
We rise to meet our Lord at last.
