Be up and doing, now while the day lasts,
The night is soon coming, the hour will pass,
When Zion no longer in bondage will be,
The gospel will triumph, the Saints will be free.

Then be up and doing, the day will soon come,
When Jesus from heaven in clouds will come down,
And thousands of angels his escorts will be.
The Gentiles will tremble at their destiny.

O Saints, be not weary, the gospel proclaim,
Let every nation now hear of his name,
That they may all gather to their glorious home,
And never again in such darkness they'll roam.

Then be up and doing, the day will soon pass,
The harvest will end, the autumn will pass,
And thousands will perish, and sink into hell,
But few will be spared with their Savior to dwell.

Then be up and doing, the day will soon come,
When Jesus from heaven in glory shall come,
And thousands of seraphs will bow at his feet,
And sing on for ever the praises of God.

Then haste, spread the gospel in every land,
And you shall be kept by a mighty God's hand,
Oh, hasten to publish salvation abroad,
And prepare, a tried people to meet their great God.
