Faber, 1814-1863 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Social Righteousness; Righteousness Social Lyrics: 1 Workman of God, O lose not heart, But learn what God is like; And in the darkest battle-field Thou shalt know where to strike. 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. 3 Then learn to scorn the praise of man, And learn to lose with God; For Jesus won the world through shame, And beckons thee His road. 4 For right is right, since God is God, And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin.
