Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel

“We must not falter nor weary in well-doing. We must lengthen our stride. Not only is our own eternal welfare at stake, but also the eternal welfare of many of our brothers and sisters…"

― Spencer W. Kimball

“It's funny how, in this journey of life, even though we may begin at different times and places, our paths cross with others so that we may share our love, compassion, observations, and hope. This is a design of God that I appreciate and cherish.” 

― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

D&C 58:27 -28

27 Verily I say, men should be ^aanxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness;

 28 For the power is in them, wherein they are ^aagents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their ^breward.

Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel

1. The world has need of willing men

1. Who wear the worker's seal.
   Come, help the good work move along;
   Put your shoulder to the wheel.
2. (Chorus)
   Put your shoulder to the wheel; push along,
   Do your duty with a heart full of song,
   We all have work; let no one shirk.
   Put your shoulder to the wheel.
3. 2. The Church has need of helping hands,
   And hearts that know and feel.
   The work to do is here for you;
   Put your shoulder to the wheel.
4. 3. Then don't stand idly looking on;
   The fight with sin is real.
   It will be long but must go on;
   Put your shoulder to the wheel.
5. 4. Then work and watch and fight and pray
   With all your might and zeal.
   Push ev'ry worthy work along;
   Put your shoulder to the wheel.
   1.
