  *++Lyrics:|\\
Are you working, are you working\\
In the garden of the Lord?\\
When He cometh at the setting of the sun,\\
Will He find a golden harvest,\\
Will you reap a rich reward,\\
For the faithful toil and service you have done?\\
\\
Are you growing, are you growing\\
In the garden of the Lord?\\
Are you stepping ever heavenward on the way?\\
In the knowledge of the Sav-iour,\\
In the richness of His word,\\
Are you gaining grace and wisdom every day?\\
\\
Are you watching, are you watching\\
In the garden of the Lord?\\
Like the lily, are your garments pure and white,\\
Like the lovely rose of Sharon,\\
Is your heart in sweet accord?\\
Does it turn with joy and gladness to the light?\\
\\
When the trump of God is sounding,\\
And the gates are opened wide,\\
All the gladness of the blessed you shall know,\\
If within the Master's vineyard,\\
From the morn till eventide,\\
You have been a faithful worker here below.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Are you working in the garden of the Lord,\\
When He cometh at the setting of the sun,\\
Will He find a golden harvest,\\
Will you reap a rich reward,\\
For the faithful toil and service you have done?\\
