1. Oh, come all you slaves of Jehovah
Who've given your heart and your soul
Come out to the work of our Master
And learn from his steps and his role
The seed of the truth, you sow without fear
On hearts that are able to yield
Fine fruit to God's praise as you faithfully work
And you do your full share in the field

2. Some seed that you sow will be scattered
On hearts as resistant as stone
Though these may respond for a season
The want of their hearts will be known
When thorns choke the word
Then greed fills their hearts;
The things of the world they prefer
Yet, some seed may prosper; you will see results
From the ground that is good, fine, and pure

3. How much of your work is successful
May often depend much on you
With patience and love for your neighbors
Their hearts may be opened anew
By being alert you'll ward off their fears
With measures some gentle some bold
And thus with rejoicing you can hope to reap
At least thirty if not hundredfold
