Workman of God, O lose not heart,

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 443 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

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

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

Blest, 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.

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.

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