Lyrics

EACH MAN’S LABOUR
Sammy Horner
There is a story I recall
My father taught when I was younger
There is a place we’ll meet again
I said I hope you are not wrong sir
He said love the Lord above
Help your kin and help your neighbour
And do your best to live in peace
This is surely each man’s labour

And I remember as a child
My mother sang this old song to me
It was the sweetest melody
And to this day it’s words pursue me
She sang love the Lord above
Help your kin and help your neighbour
And do your best to live in peace
This is surely each man’s labour

And as the years go drifting by
Those words seem ever to be near me
So I will pass them on to you
And hope in love that you can hear me
I say love the Lord above
Help your kin and help your neighbor
And do your best to live in peace
This is surely each man’s labour
