"Omnes gentes plaudite manibus" - Gregorian Chant (Mode 6)
The Entrance Antiphon of the 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Lyrics:
All you nations clap your hands,
cry to God with shouts of joy.
“Come, labour on” - T. Tertius Noble
Lyrics:
Come, labour on.
Who dares stand idle on the harvest plain
while all around us waves the golden grain?
And to each servant does the Master say,
"Go work today."
Come, labour on.
Claim the high calling angels cannot share;
to young and old the gospel gladness bear.
Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly.
The night draws nigh.
Come, labour on.
Cast off all gloomy doubt and faithless fear!
No arm so weak but may do service here.
Though feeble agents, may we all fulfill
God's righteous will.
Come, labour on.
No time for rest, till glows the western sky,
till the long shadows o'er our pathway lie,
and a glad sound comes with the setting sun,
"Well done, well done!"
