Workman of God

1Workman of God,
O lose not heart,
But learn what God is like;
And on the darkest battlefield Thou shalt know where to strike.

2Thrice blest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell That God is on the field, when He Is most invisible.

3Blest, too, is he who can divine Where truth and justice lie,
And dares to take the side that seems Wrong to man's blinded eye.

4Then learn to scorn the praise of men,
And learn to lose with God;
For Jesus won the world through shame,
And beckons thee His road.

5For right is right, since God is God,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin.
