Oh, it is hard to work for God,

To rise and take his part

Upon this battle-field of earth,

And not sometimes lose heart!

Ill masters good; good seems to change

To ill with greatest ease;

And, worst of all, the good with good

Is at cross purposes.

It is not so, but so it looks;

And we lose courage then;

And doubts will come if God hath kept

His promises to men.

Workman of God! Oh lose not heart,

But learn what God is like;

And in the darkest battle-field

Thou shalt know where to strike.

For right is right, since God is God;

And right the day must win;

To doubt would be disloyalty,

To falter would be sin!

Faber.
