Faith and Works

Go thy way day by day

The way Heav’n points to thee;

Question nev­er

trust­ing ev­er—

Peace then shalt thou see.

Live aright

day and night

Loving God for­ev­er;

Bearing cross­es

hea­vy loss­es

Murmuring—Oh

nev­er.

Do thy task—nev­er ask

Why must it be done?

Never bor­row from the mor­row—

Use the pre­sent sun.

Then shalt thou

even now

Live in God and light;

And when dy­ing dread not ly­ing

In the cold and night.

For thou know’st as thou sow­est

So shalt thou e’er reap;

Duty done

is vic­t’ry won and

Sweet the vic­tor’s sleep.
