I Want to Be a Worker

1 

I want to be a worker for the Lord,

I want to love and trust his holy word,

I want to sing and pray, and be busy ev'ry day

In the vineyard of the Lord.

Chorus:

I will work, I will pray,

In the vineyard in the vineyard of the Lord,

I will work, I will pray, I will labor ev'ry day

In the vineyard of the Lord.

2 

I want to be a worker ev'ry day,

I want to lead the erring in the way

That leads to heav'n above, where all is peace and love,

In the kingdom of the Lord.

3 

I want to be a worker strong and brave,

I want to trust in Jesus' pow'r to save,

All who will truly come, shall find a happy home,

In the kingdom of the Lord.
