User-Contributed Transcription Dear laborers in the vineyard of the Lord -Blest teachers to the dark browed Burmat's? sonsHow patiently ye suffered cruel deeds of woe!But now in Heaven how glorious are your crowns!The souls ye saved like stars are shining there -Your griefs are oer - your robes are washed and whitePure as the light in Jesus precious blood -Methinks I'd love to follow in your steps -To carry Gospel news to India's shore -O that I were but worthy thus to toil!O that this sinful heart loved Jesus more!Blest Savior! Make me more like thee - Give meA heart to work wherein thy wisdom points.Here let me labor zealously for Thee,With all my might do what my hands shall find - M? P. M? maybe A?P.M.?
