1.要扶着你的犁继续前进,土地虽很贫瘠而坚硬,
但是那犁头能把它开垦,耕耘者必得到其报赏。
撒下的种子必长成好庄稼,结果实归荣耀的王,
收割的要来同那耕耘者,将快乐唱美诗回天家。
2.你当专心作工继续前进,虽然前途是黑暗深沉,
必有光发出使暗转为明,作工人的内心须欢欣。
天门要敞开新诗歌齐欢唱,主耶稣向你发赞赏,
为主勤作工救人进天国,圣天使亦快乐唱新歌。
(副歌)
前进!前进!继续的前进!前进到获得赏赐,
扶前进的犁,要恒心作工,因大功快要告成。
1 If your hand's on the plow, hold on, hold on;
Tho' the soil may be sterile and hard,
The plowshare will make
The fallow ground break,
And the plowman will have his reward;
Earth's bosom will sparkle with emerald green,
And its grain will be golden king;
The reapers will come, with loud "Harvest Home."
And the gleaners will joyfully sing.
Chorus:
Hold on, hold on, my brother, hold on,
Hold on till the prize is won;
Hold on to the plow,
And weary not now,
For the work is almost done.
2 If your heart's in the work, hold on, hold on;
Tho' the way should be gloomy and sad,
A light will appear,
The pathway be clear,
And the heart of the worker be glad;
Heav'n's portals will open, and music resound,
And the mansions of bliss will ring
With praise for the brave, who labor to save,
And the angels will joyfully sing. [Chorus]
