Workman of God, O lose not heart

Author: Dr. F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Conflict (see also Warfare) Ended 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.

Wisdom to silver we prefer, And gold is dross compared to her. 3 Her hands are filled with length of days, True riches, and immortal praise, Riches of Christ on all bestowed, And honour that descends from God. 4 To purest joys she all invites, Chaste, holy, spiritual delights; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her flowery paths are peace. 5 Happy the man who wisdom gains; Thrice happy, who his guest retains; He owns, and shall for ever own, Wisdom, and Christ, and heaven, are one.
