Workman of God, O Lose Not Heart
Frederick William Faber (1849) • English
Primary Scripture: 2 Kings 6:15-17
Verse 1
Workman of God! O lose not heart, But learn what God is like; And in the darkest battlefield Thou shalt know where to strike.
Verse 2
Thrice blest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell That God is on the field, when He Is most invisible.
Verse 3
Blest too is he who can divine Where real right doth lie, And dares to take the side that seems Wrong to man’s blindfold eye.
Verse 4
Then 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. AMEN.
