Why Stand Ye Idle All the Day?

Benjamin Ira Mikell
Why stand ye idle all the day
When there is work to do?
Go in the vineyard of the Lord,
Work all the whole day through.

Someday the harvest time will come
And then life's sun goes down;
Be careful how you use your time
Or ye shall lose thy crown.

What will ye bring when Jesus comes,
Will it be wheat or tares?
Each one is giv'n his just reward;
Christ's judgment will be fair.
