“To the work to the work”
- Velackku velackku daiva daasanmaar naam
Kristhan kaanicha paatha naam pinchellanam
Ingu vaazhuvaan alla shushrusha cheyvaan
Ihathil pirannu swargga raajaavu thaan
Yatnikka, yatnikka, theduka, neduka
Aashikka, praarthdikka karthaavu varum vegathil
- Velackku velackku chuttum nokkuka naam
Engum vaazhum assathyathe pokkuka naam
Sarvva srushtiyum yeshuve kaanum vare
Uyarthiduka naam sathyamaam kodiye-
- Velackku velackku daiva drohangalum
Vyaaja maarggangal naashathin mohangalum
Daiva bhoomiyil vardhikkunnor samaye
Swasthatha yogyamo kristhan daasanmaare!-
- Velackku velackku innu rakshayin naal
Enkilum nithyavum paapa shikshakalaal
Aayiram aayiram nashichidunnithaa
Rakshippaan rakshippaan en sahodaraa! vaa-
- Velackku velackku oro kashtangalum
Parihaasangal himsakal nashtangalum
Sahichum vahichum kondadhwaanikka naam
Ennaal naam kristhuvin sathya sevakaraam-
- Velackku velackku pinne swasthathayum
Karthan dasaraam naam nithyam aaswadikkum
En santhoshathilekku praveshikkuka
Ennu thaan arulicheyyum halleluyya!-
Meaning:
1.
To the work, to the work! We are servants of God.
Let us follow the path Christ has shown us.
He was not born into this world to reign here,
But to serve, though He is the King of heaven.
Strive, strive! Seek and win!
Hope and pray, for the Lord will come soon.
2.
To the work, to the work! Let us look around us.
Let us drive away the falsehood
That is spreading everywhere.
Let us raise high the banner of truth
Until all creation sees Jesus.
3.
To the work, to the work!
Ungodliness, false paths,
And desires that lead to destruction
Are increasing in God's world.
Can we, servants of Christ,
Really afford to sit back and rest?
4.
To the work, to the work! Today is the day of salvation.
Yet thousands upon thousands
Are still perishing under the judgment of sin.
Come, my brother and sister—
Let us work to save them!
5.
To the work, to the work! Even when we face hardships,
Mockery, persecution, and loss,
Let us endure and keep laboring.
Then we will truly be
Faithful servants of Christ.
6.
To the work, to the work! Afterward there will be rest,
And we, the Lord's servants,
Will enjoy eternal rest with Him.
Then He will say,
“Come and share in My joy.”
Hallelujah!
