Workman of God! O lose not heart,
But learn what God is like;
And in the darkest battlefield
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.
--F. W. Faber.
Leisure and I have parted company.
I look upon the world as my parish.
The best of all is, God is with us.
To overdo is to undo.
--John Wesley.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only.
--James 1. 22.
Lord God, I pray for a desire to work. May I not be deceived in my
convictions, and work for that of which I may afterward be ashamed.
Lead me into a clear conception of right and wrong. Help me to see as
thou dost see, that I may walk with confidence in thy steps. Amen.
